one bee is enough
to pollinate one poppy
or ten thousand stars

    Thank you for your tip about getting rid of word verification. Yes I see it is a bit of a belt and suspenders thing, word verification AND comment moderation.

    The busy bee works to our advantage, pollinating the glowers for our visual enjoyment. We tip our hats to our stinging friends!

    Much better than my bee photo earlier in the week, when half the bee was obscured by the plant!!

    A very pretty play of shadows on the poppy petals! And love the haiku illustrating how small may be the key to big effects!

    I’ve tried so hard to capture a bee on a flower. Being afraid of being stung doesn’t help. love your shot!

    One bee can do a lot of things by itself. I tend to stay away from them. Very pretty shot.

    I admit, that’s not where I thought you were going with the “One bee is enough…” but I see you took the high road and focused on nature! 🙂 (I was thinking more like….”is enough to send me to the hospital.”) No matter the saying though, your photo is a delight, and so is your poem! Thanks for “braving the bee!”

    That is a great shot! I love the intricate patterns. Small delicate shadows made from an object so huge as the sun. Amazing.

    Peace

    Wow, wonderful closeup shadow shot of a bizzy bee.

    I also like the concept of pollinating the stars.

    Hope you have a fun week seeking shadows, MMT. Thanks for stopping by.

    I have never seen poppies growing…only in pictures. This is a beauty. The yellow center is lovely. I like your haiku about only one bee. genie
