Wild blooms along the road
turn to the sun and
open their faces to bees.
Dragonflies skim the water
resting on flowers
of grasses along the bank.
Pollen clings to the body
of a bumblebee
deep in the hibiscus bloom.
Asters offer sweet food
for the long journey
of the Monarch Butterfly.
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!

Absolutely gorgeous nature shots. All your photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI guess the birds, bees, bugs and blooms need each other. I especially like the Hibiscus shot.

That bee in the hibiscus is amazing Ruth! Love all your flower visitors. :c)

ReplyDeleteGreat photos again Ruth. The pollen on the bumble bee is a great shot. Good to see nature at work. I love the butterfuly picture also. As always I enjoy your Friday Flower posts.

ReplyDeleteI like the colour in that hibiscus. Very nice crimson spikes.
ReplyDeleteI think I observed more insect activity than bird activity in the last few days.
