They’re all so beautiful but my heart’s set on that magnolia!!!!
It was a gigantic Magnolia on the grounds of UVA! One of my favorites as well…
And thank you!
just magnificent!
Thanks Terry!
Beautiful
Thank you!
The mysterious magnolia is impressive ♡♡♡
Oh, my favorite. It was almost a million degrees when I was taking that photo, (not really, but you know what I mean) and I was sweating, er, glistening like crazy
I took a ton of shots cause I wanted it to be right! Boy I was glad when I had enough. We then went across the street into Starbucks to get some COLD water.
Beautiful flower macros, just love them!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and for your very kind comment, most appreciated!
Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you so much! It was my pleasure! You have a great weekend as well!
Love the bee! Well, love all of them!
Thank you Robin!
You are getting really good!
Thanks!
The bee and the butterfly shots are great…but of course they all are beautiful…Diane
Thank you Diane!
The bee and the butterfly are my favorite also
Bees fascinate and terrify me, LOL! Butterflies also fascinate me, and hummingbirds. Haven’t gotten one of those yet.
I also have yet to get a decent hummingbird shot
They just flit away soooo fast. By the time I get the camera, they are gone. Someday…
I hear you, good luck to both of us on getting that shot
Amen! I think a lot of mine will go directly into the trash before I get one.
Your photos are GORGEOUS! I love to photograph flowers, but yours seem so larger than life…I can’t believe you got the butterfly on the butterfly bush…
Thank you! The butterfly took a lot of tries to get!
