Great shots Randy! On the last one, was it dew drops or was it something that flower produces naturally? Very nice pic!

Beautiful colors. I really like the one with the white spiderwort (3rd image). The bee's "pose" is wonderful.

I love the way the bee in image #3 looks like he is sitting up as if he is at a restaurant ready to be served his pollen

Beautiful Series Randy ..... Skippy

A common name for that flower is Spiderwort. Sorry, for the confusion.
