Default Desert Flowers/Bugs of Tombstone AZ

I took some family this weekend to visit Tombstone AZ, and while in the graveyard I spotted these wonderful flowers. I couldn't help but break out the macro lens.

I hope you enjoy:

Default Tombststone flowers

I like them all but number one is my favorite. I wonder if that is pollen on the bee in the last shot?

I like the sharpness especially of the last one. The contrast of the color of the bee against the color of the flower is good.

Sweet. I love the Cholla. I lived in Tombstone when I was a little girl. My earliest memories in life, actually. Did you get to see the Rose Tree. I used to play under it. I digree. I hope you will continue pursuing your interest in macro photography. Clearly, you have the eye for it.

Yes actually...it wasn't in bloom though. Yeah it was my second time there, and it always proves to be a good time.

Thank you everyone for the compliments.
