Sunday Stills - Flowers And Wildflowers

I'm glad Ed picked this challenge.  The flowers around here were starting to get their feelings hurt with all the lamb pics.  Didn't really get what I wanted, but did capture a couple fun shots. 


How about a tree house surrounded by flowers?


Could she have been bringing in a piece of wool for her nest?  Um, no.  Chicken feather.  Stupid chickens mumble mumble ;-).


"Go find your own tree house.  This one's mine!"


Apple blossoms as far as you can see.  My favorite.


I love the look of this even with the honey bee facing the wrong direction (stupid bees mumble mumble ;-), but it was complete luck and a nice combo of light, depth of field and composition.  I'm not sure I'm smart enough to recreate it, but if I get a minute I might try. 


A big bumble type bee on the pear tree.  All bees are pollinators as are lots of other insects.  We're equal opportunity bee lovers here.


Lift off.

For more Sunday Stills...

These are all wonderful shots. All I could say, when I saw the first one, was: "wow!". :-) You must be using a powerful camera lens. Great photos!

Beautiful, beautiful shots! Love the apple blossoms and birds. Now I really can't wait for spring here in Colorado - we are finally getting the warm temps, but desperately need the rain :-)

Terry said...

Oh wow! I LOVE that first photo!

No flowers here just yet, unless you count dandelions. Still, it's a sign of Spring.
