Um, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind… π¬ #Beedril
Cup Full of Bees
At a large group picnic. Someone walked away from their soda or punch, and came back to find a cup full of bees…
This bee was crawling into one of these trumpet shaped flowers after another.

Two crops of the same photo taken on a quick walk around the block. I really like the landscape crop showing the fiery skipper as it flies from one flower to the next…but after I cropped it, I noticed the bee also flying in the foreground of the original, and I just had to find a way to keep them both in the frame and still draw attention to them.

Skipper Close-Up (iNat)
Realized this isn’t iceplant. INat suggests it’s in the Kleinia genus, but I’m not sure beyond that.
Follow-up: The plant is Blue Chalksticks.
Yellow-faced Bumble Bee (close-up on poppy, liftoff with pollen)
A bumblebee I found in the poppies at a botanical garden.

Final Landing Approach!
Another shot from the hike at the marsh preserve earlier this month.
The flowers, apparently Matilija Poppies, had huge, flat white petals with these large yellow centers. They looked like fried eggs.

Testing out the new phones camera on a bee. It has an option to add a second or so of video to still shots when it detects movement, which I figured I’d try out as well.
