Mary,
A beautiful picture of the Magenta & lavender blue flowers with the visiting Honey bee collecting nectar. Beautiful composition & framing with beautiful soft lighting catching the beauty of the bee's iridescent gossamer wings & making them glow. Taken with superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.
