WALKIN', WRITIN', WIT & WHIMSY 
Love these bee images. Now I can’t get the music “The Flight of the Bumblebee” out of my head. 😁

Thank you Pepper! I thought the title might become an earworm. 🙂 I was lucky that the in-flight bee was over the sidewalk where the planter was sitting, so the plain background worked well here.

Yes, I agree Dave. The brilliant purple was stunning! We have odd weather today which feels very Spring-like, almost 60 degrees!

Yes, I think so too – it is Verbena. I’ve never had that flower before, but it was mid-September, after all that long hot Summer and it was still going strong. We had dreary weather too, but it got to 60 degrees, although foggy a good part of the day.

It’s in the mid 50s at 8 am, so these shots are really timely!

Yes, same warm temps for us too … we ended up at about 60 but it’s been foggy most of the day. Think Spring!

Wish I’d thought of “bee-utiful” Barbara! 🙂 Yes, those purple Verbena were stunning and just dripping out of a big planter. The bee zipped over the sidewalk to the planter, so it made its wings-in-flight path look better.

Thank you Terri! That was a first for me to get the bee in flight. I was lucky he was zipping across the sidewalk to a planter so he had an unobstructed background. Those are Verbena and I’ve never grown them, but considering how fabulous they looked in mid-September after our hot Summer, it might be worth a try. I have to put it on your Flower Hour site right now.

Thank you Donna! My first bee in-flight shots. I was lucky that the bee was zipping along over a sidewalk to the planter, so you can see those wings whirring! Yes, always busy, those bees!

These bumblebee photos took me back to my childhood, Linda. We used to catch the bees with a white spot in the middle of their heads with our bare hands. They do not have stingers! The ones in your photos are not that kind. I saw their heads are all black.
Thanks for the wonderful summertime pictures!

Thanks Laurie – all the Summer shots will help us have warm memories and get us to Spring hopefully. We had 60 degrees today and I just heard a rumble of thunder. Crazy weather! That is amazing that you could catch bees like that and not get stung. When I was still living in Canada, we had two brothers in the neighborhood (ages 6 and 8) and they used to catch bees and cup them in their hands too … bees and grasshoppers as I recall. I wonder if they were the same type of bees? I think they did to impress us girls who were around the same age. 🙂

Beautiful captures! It’s a little hard to believe that those chubby bees can get airborne… but I’m glad they do!

Thank you Janis! I was excited to get photos of my first in-flight bees! Yes, this bee was chubby. It was mid-September and it had been feasting on pollen all Summer.

Thank you Diane! It was my first time being lucky to capture a bee in flight. The bee is usually already on the blossom. This was a huge planter in the City square and so in mid-air, the bee was over the sidewalk, so it was not a cluttered background. That was Verbena and looking nice considering we had such a hot Summer and it was already mid-September.

Sweet Bumblebee shots, Linda! I used to play the Flight of the Bumblebee on the accordion. That was many years ago.

Thank you Tom! That was my first time to capture the bee in flight, so I was pretty excited. I have not heard the song in many years but I, too, played the accordion … I remember Lady of Spain and Bicycle Built for Two. We used to give recitals in nursing homes. I took lessons from age seven to ten, then we moved to the States and could not find any accordion teachers, so that was it.

This was me after I got my full-sized accordion. I had a little red accordion with just 12 bass buttons.

Beautiful photos, Linda, and such a beautiful purple color on the flowers. I enjoy watching the bees buzz around the flowers and walk on their dainty petals.

Thank you Rebecca! My first bee-in-flight pictures so I was excited to get them. This was a planter filled with Verbena in a city square, so the bee was flying over the sidewalk, which was great as there was no background colors making it easier to see it flying.
