Bee in Chapel Hill

We always like to take pictures for flowers. Here are the reasons. First, they do not run around so that we can position ourselves for the best angle easily. Second, if we go somewhere to take pictures for flowers, there are usually a lot so that we will not be bored. Third, the owners of the flowers are usually very happy to have their flowers picture taken which is a big plus. We admire their work by photographing their products. In fact, we think that gardeners are great people. They have patience and knowledge to do something which do not produce results as soon as they are finished working on it. It takes months even years to see any observable output from their work.

During the spring time in 2006, we walked around the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina and spotted this flower. We took a few pictures and all of a sudden, a bee flew over. We had only half of a second to take this picture, then the bee was gone. We were so fortunate to get this. Again, the nature was helping us to do a better job in photography. Some people might want to call that luck.
