On A Bed Of Blossoms

On A Bed Of Blossoms - a bee on cherry blossom petals in Stayton Oregon

So, I've threat... er, mentioned recently I'd probably be posting more cherry blossom photos, seeing that it's spring and all. But today's blossoms come with an added bonus -- a bee. There were several bees hanging around the blossoms (the buzzing was kind of loud, actually... maybe there was a nest nearby?), and this one didn't care when flung my arm out in order to hover my camera a couple of inches from him and snapped a few pictures.

This was at the base of a tree, where there were scattered petals, etc. I was glad he got down to my level for the photo. Such a nice bee.

The photo was taken at Neitling Park, for those who may care about such things.

Celine,
I love your bee shot! His little armband of pollen and his soft appearance. Did you lie down to get this shot?

Thanks, Kim. I actually knelt down and held the camera out in front of me. Couldn't see what I was getting, of course, so I took several shots. This is the only one which was sharp enough (or in frame enough) to post.
