Summer Flowers

We have some really gorgeous flowers around our place these days.
They are so beautiful that I can't help but photograph them.

This bee was caught in a thread of a spiders web, so he was in my power!!! Ha Ha Ha
He really did hold very still, such a nice critter.

Today was the perfect day.
Slightly overcast, which is my favorite light to shoot flowers in.
I love the little hairs on the outside of this stamen??
I probably should review my plant anatomy.

I have to mention with this post that it was super hard to get Emry & CeCe to NOT pick the flowers. They are constantly picking everything in sight. It's been a real challenge this spring/summer, getting them to put hands in pockets and simply admire...
the desire to pick is too great!

Lovely photos! Have you considered printing some off to give to your landlords? After all, it is their place. Brownie points?

I really liked the bee shot. Have you ever tried posting to the National Geographic? They have a spot online and in the mag called Your Shot sent in by viewers. You should send some of your shots in.
