Friday flowers... Busy bee


I photographed this very busy bee out in the garden the other day.


It was doing circles around a stem of Liatris (or Gay Feather) in my backyard.


Don't you think the colour is beautiful?  After a slow start this plant has done so well this year, with many long, healthy stems - very pleasing to the eye.
I am happy that it's Friday. The Aus tralian Wooden Boat Festival starts today and I am hoping we can pop down after work for a look.
Hopefully you all have something fun planned too?

  5. Nice macro shots, Sarah! I wonder if people grow it here. Looking it up, I see it's a type of aster. Probably lots of people grow it and I've just never noticed! I'll be watching for it now...

  6. I just love to see the colour in faraway gardens when pretty much all we have is grey days, bare soil and rain.

  7. Aren't they cute? I think they are. I remember spending entire afternoon in my beloved uncle Sergio's porch watching bees being around flowers together. He used to plant certain flowers only to attract bees. Everytime I see those flowers i think of him.
