Summer pictures

in #flowers6 years ago

When winter approaches, these pictures look more appealing. I took this is set of pictures in January and I miss summer already. The roses have a few blooms left but have lost most of their leaves and the sunlight has changed.

I was trying to take pictures of the bumblebees when they visit flowers but it's practically impossible, they dive into the flower, roll around quickly and off to the next one. They aren't nectar-sippers or posers, that's for sure.

If you look carefully, you'll see a small solitary bee leaving in a hurry after the big one turned up

Love roses, but of course you have need to add the nikv flavour. Our bees are important, so I love them for their function and not their prettiness!
:P

:) Big black evil bees, yeah!

Insects like to collect nectar on flowers. It is probably very tasty.

Spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner. Happy Tuesday!

Unfortunately I am in the Southern hemisphere so it is the other way round

How nice to have white roses around!! I wish we have bee hives in our garden like last years!

They are carpenter bees, my favourites

My favourite is the Blue Banded....
There are lots of carpenter bees in Bali!

Nice contrast with the white flower. Hard for me to equate January with July. Everything is backwards south of the equator.

Indeed. Your summer pictures keep us going in our winter
