Bee on Antirrhinum

Bee on Antirrhinum
So far I have only managed to catch the rear end of a bee in decent focus! I tried many times as it went from flower to flower, but no luck! The PiP is an antirrhinum from a part of the garden that is left to reseed each year.

A pair of lovely shots Rosa, so very colourful! I know that feeling, they are not the most cooperative of creatures;-))

Enjoy your day, Doug

You're right Doug, they are not. I saw a beautiful small blue butterfly in the garden on Sunday and it was also most uncooperative ;-) Thanks for your kind comments.

All the best, Rosa.

El día que lo consigas tendrás un subidón de autoestima, Rosa.
El éxito no anida en alturas fáciles de alcanzar, sino en abruptas cumbres montañosas.
Te hace feliz conseguir tus propósitos venciendo dificultades, si no las hay el mérito decae.
La flora no se te escapó y la plasmaste maravillosamente en forma de torre.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
I will keep trying Jose Manuel ;-)) I have a special plant that will soon flower that bees and butterflies love, so that will give me a good chance.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Really lovely flowers, Rosa. The color is absolutely gorgeous, as is the velvety texture that your superb photo shows. The bee is icing.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to micritter
Thank you very much Rashid. The flower is beautiful and I am quite happy to just get a picture of that.....but a whole bee would have been the best icing :-))

I love your main image Rosa.........especially the bee's bum, which is a pretty normal view of a bee on this type of flower (foxgloves as well for instance). It's nice and sharp where it needs to be and you can clearly see the pollen it's collected. I like the out-of-focus background and colours too.

The PiP is really beautiful and super sharp. Nice colours too and a gorgeous background.

We used to call these Snapdragons as kids and you could squeeze the sides of the flower and make the "dragon's mouth" open and shut.

With the lovely rich colour it is still a gorgeous image half a bee is a bonus you were trying to depict it hard at work !! I would think aperture priority a higher ISO to increase the shutter speed and if you have one a zoom lens so you can keep your distance, failing that super glue :)))))

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you Peter. I had the wrong camera with me really, as the Lumix has a good zoom lens.
Super glue is an option ;-))
