My oh my, now I know why they call it Beard Tongue. Look at the magnificent stubble!! And you've certainly found an industrious bee too ... deeper, deeper, and you'll find that gold.
It looks like the flower is just gonna eat him up. That's a cool flower, never seen one with hairs on it. The bee is also waving to you and saying, "What's up yo!"
I am so pleased that you have come along on this journey with us.
I love the color purple, so you have won me already.
Great detail captured here, in the center of this flower.
That bee is sure hungry, and totally into this flower.
Thanks you for sharing this floral image with us.
Our journey has just begun.....
The position of his little legs makes me think he was digging for something, like in the old cartoons when people were throwing things behind them while getting ever deeper into their closets. Really interesting flower, too, with the hairy bits inside. Fun image :-)
Well, you know it's August in Australia already! The glowing warm color of the bee draws my eye right into this comp & I am amused at the little legs sticking up. "D If there is such a thing as a candid bee-shot, this would be it! [eta] of course you simply must keep on posting to this thread!
