Today was one of those days when I knew exactly what I was going to take a photo of for the prompt. We have four of these shrubs in our front garden and they are all profusely in bloom. The flowers are really quite tiny, but with so many of them the shrubs look almost white.
Abundant: Plentiful | Ample | Rich Today was one of those days when I knew exactly what I was going to take a photo of for the prompt. We have four of these shrubs in our front garden and they are all profusely in bloom. The flowers are really quite tiny, but with so many of them the shrubs look almost white. Of course with so many blossoms there were bound to be bees around gathering nectar. And with a macro lens on my camera how could I resist taking some close up shots of the bees. I'm so pleased with this photo as it isn't cropped at all and is really quite sharp. The bees are so busy they don't mind me getting so up close and personal. Such a treat! This photo was cropped, but still retains quite a deal of sharp focus. Each flower is only about 1cm wide. I did very little editing for these photos.

The second bee photo is wonderful. Just showed it to Milton. Can see the furry hairs in the bee, the pollen on her back leg, light shining through the wings - glorious! The flowers appear to be tea tree (Leptospermum) a great favourite with the bees who will repay you with fruit and veg pollination. Perfect.
