Such a great catch! The highlights in the flower really work to present this little garden worker.
It frames the bee well and is a great reminder of what they do for us. No bees, no flowers. I love this. Good luck.

Thank you so much for the nice review!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
Lovely and skilled photography of a beautiful and vivid flower. The bee is colorful, well seen, and makes the narrative such a nice play on words and meaning. The textures are indeed nice, the center ones of fine design. The petals are soft and lovely and the background is fine. Best wishes in the contest. This one is a winner in several ways.

Thanks Glena I appreciate your comments and review. I believe this to be an ice plant I took in CA years ago. The bee was a bonus.

Welcome. Yes, it was a bonus. All lovely.
