Have a great day, friends! This brings me memories of my Flower A Day project, combining two of my favourite subjects – wildflowers and insects, particularly pollinators. This beautiful splash of yellow petals, stained with rich brown attracted me as much as the bee feeding on it. These flowers appeared one year in a field, never to reappear, so I was so glad to have captured a special time.
The bee is the perfect compliment to brown and yellow of the flower, judiciously placing its yellow body in the centre of the brown section of the bloom. A model bee…in every sense. Excellent capture, Ellie
That’s the advantage of having a director for your photoshoot, arranging all the models just so! Ha ha! Thanks Janet.
Certainly unusual brown stain. Unusual but nice
Thanks Jim. I searched on iNaturalist for the flower but had trouble finding it as it wanted to find the bee, of course. In the end I did find photos of brown eyed Susans with such staining so was happy to go ahead calling it that. Funny how they came up one year but never again. Probably ruined by racoons digging up that field. Now we have foxes and the racoons have been less active.
Although now I see it’s possibly the black eyed one (plantnet). Oh well, we’ll call it poetic license. Shall we?
