SO, did you get really close or have a good zoom? Love the bee shot!
ReplyDeleteWow...the flowers are really tiny and beautiful. It fits this week's theme. That bumblebee did give the extra touch to the shot. Well done. Wishing you a calm, happy and lovely weekend! http://crizlai.blogspot.com/2007/07/photo-hunters-tiny.html
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great. I thought of posting a similar picture, but went a different route.
ReplyDeleteI checked out your picture of the white Misumena vatia (a new term for me). I like how it stood out on the pink flower. My yellow one stayed on the sunflower all season last year while it was in bloom and then after it started to fade. I keep checking the garden this year but haven't seen any others yet.
ReplyDeleteThe bee is exquisite! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your close up shots!! Very beautiful color and TINY.
ReplyDeletethat's a great macro shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks all.
ReplyDeleteTN Chick. not a zoom but a macro lens and a ring flash - Money well spent as they have allowed me to get some really pleasing close up shots!
I bet they are there Whirlwind - just hiding in plain sight!
Good Picture for this weeks theme. Happy 20.07.2007 ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful close-ups!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
as usual superb shot. great macro!
ReplyDeleteThey are both great shots. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors. Two nice shots!
ReplyDeletegreat pic, am glad to hear you didn't get that close to the bee after all!
ReplyDeletePurple flowers are my fav!!! I really like these photos!
ReplyDeleteYou live so close to Madurodam - you'd love photoing this 'tiny' spot on this earth - you ought to plan a holiday venture there!!! Well worth it!

ReplyDeleteLoved the tiny petals of the flowers and the bee is tiny too, compared to other things.
ReplyDeleteCome see mine.
Wow, you were able to get the bee moving. Nice photo.
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend! :)
Your macro shots are always really great.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your kind words
ReplyDeleteThose shots are beautiful! And you were very brave to get so close to the bumble bee.
ReplyDeleteI wish *my* buddelia looked like this. It looks a bit twiggy at the moment!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Wow, gorgeous!
ReplyDeletenice bumblebee!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots! Beautiful. :) Certainly tiny. :)
ReplyDeleteMy tiny photos.
I never thought of a bumbleBEE as BEEing BEEautiful BEEfore.
ReplyDeleteHe looks cute suckling on that tiny flower!
that is an amazing shot and a great one for the theme.....
ReplyDeleteYou always have such great pictures and this week is no exception!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and week to follow!
These are beautiful! I think I need to splurge on a macro lens!
ReplyDeletePerfect shot!! I love how much detail you can see!
ReplyDeleteNever thought of a buddelia being tiny before - but I see what you mean:). Buddelias grow like weed round here. Teasels don't do too badly either.
ReplyDeleteWow! The second one with the bee is great! Very tiny flower!!
ReplyDeleteI hope folks take the time to see the large versions. The flowers are actually fuzzy under the bloom. The bumble bee? It looks so soft that you think you could cuddle it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Wonderful colours and incredible detail. Lovely.
