The birds and the bees
Ok the title is misleading, this post is more about flowers and Bees, but as I was editing the shots, this song came to mind, its a classic song by Jewel Akens from 1964 titled the Birds and the bees, I will share a link to it at the end of the post
This past weekend it was mostly rainy this past weekend but yesterday afternoon the rain stopped for a bit and the sun came out so I popped out to take a few shots in the Neighborhood and thats what I am sharing now
And let me start with this little bee doing his business

Getting shots of bees and even the flower sis tricky for a couple of reasons, the wind was gently blowing so the flowers were moving, and these little bees are so active popping back and forth all over the place.
And here we have a bumblebee, that also was so busy moving it never seemed to stop at all, but I am somewhat happy with this shot, even though his legs and head were moving and a bit blurry the fur on its back is pretty clear and I like how the blossoms that were not to far behind it have disappeared into a smooth bokeh

And hear we have another bee on the blossoms, not as good in my mmind as the first shot, but still OK to share.
By the way incase your wondering, for each of these bee shots that I am sharing I probably have 5 or 6 that the bee moved or focus was off and werent worth editing

And finishing off with just a simple blossom

I do have some more shots from yesterdays walk that are of the blossoms and flowers with rain drops on them but I have yet to edit those so they will be for a future post
And as promised here is a link to the video of the Song if you haven't heard it
