Sometimes an image grabs you.
The bee in flight here grabs me.
It was accidental by the way.
Me capturing this bee.
Swamp Hibiscus
Another Bee
I have no clue what flower this is but it is stunning.
Another hibiscus as large as a dinner plate.
Why don't I have planters like these?
All images taken by me at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia S. C.
I party on the internet @ Potpourri Friday at 2805.

Cat's whiskers I believe your unknown flower is Cat's whiskers.. Bee's, butterflies and birds love them .. I love all of your pretties including your new header picture.. hugs, Cherry
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures! Why can't I take photos like that? Inspires me to keep practicing.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I thought I was in the wrong place. :o) Love the new header. I cannot believe the picture of the bee in flight. Just wonderful. Looks like you had a lovely day at the zoo. Hope it wasn't too hot. My power came on this afternoon so I hope to resume my life tomorrow. Thanks for your sweet comments. I loved them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Love how you captured the bee in flight...they always seem to fly away when I try to do that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shot with the bee.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the bee in flight. I can never seem to capture them. Of course I haven't been outside much lately because of the heat.
ReplyDeleteThe hibiscus is gorgeous.
I'm so inspired by your photos! At the top of my wish list is a good camera and time to learn how to use it. I'll have a heck of a long way to go to catch up to you! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteI like the little caption which reads like a poem too.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely Olive and a fantastic capture with the bee.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to pick up a new puppy next week. So excited! xx
All great pics! Love the bee-in-flight and those planters are so pretty:@)
ReplyDeleteGreat bee in flight, even if it was accidental.

Great bee shot...I'm always trying to capture bees, birds and lizards with my camera..but usually they just move too fast!!Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous shot Olive. All your photos are amazing! I love that zoo! We only live about an hour from there.
ReplyDeleteOlive, The flower are nice. I wish I had some of those from the Zoo area..or at least one of their gardeners. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is amazing! Very, very nice.
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture of the bee in flight Olive! I've been stalking several that are swarming our basil blooms & lavender, unsuccessfully :) Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteBee-utiful pictures Olive. I get so many planting ideas from the parks and zoos around here. Now you need to rest after having your small people company. Ann
ReplyDeleteI love your header. It is so you. I want to change mine but can't figure out how I did it last time. My brain hurts when I try. I want those pots too. Guess we need a zoo.
ReplyDeletegorgeous pics- even accidentally how did you get that pic?
ReplyDeleteKaren
You are such a good photographer! I love those close-up shots of the bee. We have to be reminded that we wouldn't have those beautiful flowers without them!
ReplyDeleteThat bee in flight is the coolest shot even by accident.
ReplyDeleteDon't you LOVE happy accidents?? Wonderful bee photo!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos Olive. The first photo is amazing. Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCause if you bought them all at once and new, they would be very, very expensive!! ;0
