Default Dahlia & Bee.

Caught this little bee on one of my potted Dahlias when the sun decided to show for a short while today.

You just keep on going.

Denny i have no doubts about it! cant wait to see your bee shot

Maureen, Len, Terry & Julie thanks for your feedback and comments, most of my shots are taken whilst out on my morning walk with the dogs before i start work, i ALWAYS take my camera with me where ever i go, and most of these subjects are found at a local park/nature reserve and i came across this little guy when one of the dogs happened to loose his ball in the grass.

Very nice shot once again Bev,but to be picky (and i usually am LOL) i would try getting rid of the petal bottom right so the flowers completely isolated.

Sorry it just caught my eye and i had to say it (the little voice inside my head made me)...
