I love photographing bees as they’re collecting nectar off the many flowers we have here in San Diego. These pink flowers were actually blooms on a large bush last summer. I think I will add the first photo as a potential choice for my animal theme 2014 photo calendar. I love that hue of pink!

Here’s another bee dunking its head into the center of the flower.

Floral Friday Fotos: more pink water lilies

Today I’m participating in Floral Friday Fotos. Remember you can click on the photos below to see them in a larger format. If you enjoy my images, I encourage you to subscribe and receive updates when I post new photos, usually 3 to 5 times a week.

I featured some pink water lilies a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to capture more of them on camera recently. The sunlight was very bright that day in comparison to my other photo session, so these pink water lilies look quite different in the end.

By the way, check out the green frog popping its head out of the water in this last picture (bottom right).

Floral Friday Fotos: lotus flower and lotus seed head

This is the first time I’ve photographed lotus flowers. They were standing next to the water lilies in the pond but definitely look different with their much taller stems. The light was quite challenging that day, especially when it came to photographing mostly white petals.

I love this next shot, which shows what a lotus seed head looks like once the petals come off. If you look inside the flower, you can see the seed area in an earlier stage. Pretty cool flowers!
