I Heart Macro The Daisy and the Bee

This Bee was very patient with me. He was intent on the pollen all over his legs. I stopped and changed lenses several times and he stayed there. Then he suddenly had enough and flew away. I saw him come back a few times but he never stayed long enough for me to photogragh him again.



Then I thought it would be interesting to take pictures of all the phases of the Daisy, tight bud....


Slightly open...


Little bit more....


Still more...


Fully open!!

    I like the way you think about capturing all of the stages of bloom, Kristi! And I suspect your bzzzzy friend will be back.

    I Lov the shot of the little bit more, definitely frame worthy! The bee looks like his feet are stuck in the muck!
