CHASING THE BEE


I went over to Bishop's Close to see if the poppies were in bloom. Yep, they were. I played around for awhile and was enjoying a long awaited warm and sunny day here in Portland. As I was walking to my car I stopped at an iris garden and was watching the bees slide in between the petals, scoop up their nectar, and back themselves out before moving to another flower. I chased one and took a few shots. Though it's not a money shot it's fun to capture the activity. It's good to see bees, they've had a bad time with colony collapse the last few years.
