In the yard.

This is a tulip that has flowered two years in a row for me. Pretty amazing, usually the bulbs cook in the ground, but this one was in a pot and I had forgotten about it. Surprise, surprise.



Some more bulb plant that someone gave me last year and I had forgotten about, I almost pulled them out thinking they were a weed that normally grows. You can tell I am a gifted gardener.

My quest to capture bees and all sorts of insects.

Whether the itch is scratched I know not, but I do know that these are good pictures.
A great surprise with the tulip, my whole garden is like that A beautiful blue bulb, gently touched by rain drops. The bee and ladybird, could be the title of a childrens book.
Great set Michele, don't have a favourite, like them all.

Fabulous fotos Michele - yes it's great that spring is here in the southern hemisphere.

You have these so sharp, with vivid colour and well composed. Cheers, Bernz

These are pretty amazing captures. I love the 1st one with all its sharpness and vivid colors. I admire your skill on those close up shots of bees and insects. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful photos... You make joke with your "gifted gardener" but I can say you are really a "gifted photographer". You must be really patient to realise an insect close-up like that. Congrats!

They are all superb shots. Gorgeous flowers taken by a very talented photographer.

The bee and the ladybug are especially lovely.

Nice close ups Michelle, I love the bee. Do you use a macro lens, or are you just able to focus nice and close with your normal lens?
