Honeybee

A honeybee sips from a flower in the Colorado mountains between Silverton and Durango. One from the archives, obviously. I recently purchased textures for the first time, and have been playing around. This is one of my first experiments with them.
Bee in Flower II

Same bee, different flower. This one was processed with Moody Pop from the Coffee Shop Blog for a little different look.
Bee in Flower

Taken a couple of weeks ago on the road between Durango and Silverton, Colorado. I was running late to pick up my husband and daughter, but I just HAD to stop and photograph this patch of flowers along the side of the road. The bee was just a bonus. Expect another aspect of it next week, with a different angle, different flower, and different treatment.
Hummingbird in Nest

A hummingbird rests post-flight. This one took a while to get. These birds are fast!
