Hope you all are doing well. I took the first shot of vaccine yesterday - so far so good.
I will catch up with your photos soon.

"The pedigree of honey does not concern the bee; A clover, any time, to him is aristocracy."
Emily Dickinson
When weeding in my flower garden, I used to see white clover flowers as weeds. However, white clovers are a great source of nectar and pollen for honey bees. The plant flowers from May to September, and its long blooming period attracts bees and other pollinators. White clover is also high in nectar sugar, so bees often visit it before other nectar sources.

Macro shot using 11 mm extension tube. I was photographing flowers when this bee arrived. I had to get quite close with the extension tube so I was pleased I managed to get a well focused shot.

The Natural Wildflower Garden that is growing in my front yard is looking so lovely. Even the pollenators are enjoying it.

When taking pictures the other day of a wild orchid (Bonatea Antennifera - Grassveld Woodorchid) I noticed these little structures glued to my hand. Asking people in the know I discovered that these orchids have a strong scent in the evening, attracting Hawkmoths. When the orchid flower senses a moth it releases this structure called a pollinium with pollen at the one end and glue at the other end. It sticks to the moth's eye and off he/she goes to another plant, performing pollination. The flower did not realize though that I'm not a moth.
Tiny flecks of pollen fall from a blossom as a female broad-tailed hummingbird does her thing.
I really miss seeing and hearing them!

Anything Goes 2021: Bees and Butterflies
Up close and personal with a Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly as it gets nectar and pollenates at the same time.
A bee on a Joe Pye weed, also known as a Eutrochium in flower. This plant does grow like a weed, and is native to the US and Canada.
In January 2022 I asked a Flickr support hero to remove my accounts from the Explore algorithm. Peace.
Went into our "wilderness area" of garden to photograph a single pink rose but the bee came along so shot this instead

A worker bee, wearing a dusting of pollen and filling her pollen sacs as she visits cherry blossoms. Backyard photography.
The lavender and other flowers that attract bumblebees and hummingbirds are a bit late this year. So it’s good to see them return.
I decided to challenge myself to capture a bee on my poppies this morning. I have so much respect for those photographers who capture moving subjects. This was very tricky for me and it was made worse by the mottled light. Another image for my poppy series, yay! I planted a wildflower mix in my yard and am so pleased with the variety and shapes of the poppies growing.
Wishing you a wonderful day! Thank you for stopping by, your advice and comments are always appreciated.
