One hot bee!

This flower is in the bright sun and the stamens somewhat remind me of flames. So that is probably one hot bee! :biggrin: . . . :rolleyes:
Like that bee we are baking in the heat here in the East. This is a water lily flower BTW.

Panasonic DMC-FZ28. 13mm at f/5.6 for 1/250 sec. ISO 100. This was taken several years ago.

I'd say those are hot colors too. I was thinking water lily and the bees don't seem to like mine. Stunning clarity in the image!

Excellent capture of both the bee and water lily, Carolyn. Really well composed. I hope you got one of just the lily as well as it is beautiful on its own. :toast:

That is a great image Carolyn. I love the way the light is working here.

This is quite stunning! It definitely looks like it is in flames!
