Thank you.

Glad I could capture these.....the sunlight was diffuse
and the blooms acted like fill lights.

And I just happened to have a slideshow for you.

You are welcome to save any of them, but this is
my favorite, and what I set as the background on my laptop. ;)

Thank you so much everyone, for all the kind comments, acorns, & thumbs.

It's very rewarding to be able to capture the moment & be able to share it with you.
The miracle of digital photography.

The magnolias are still blooming, and the bee hive is just 30 ft away from them,
so hope to get more pics.

Later...... just took the most beautiful closeup video of the bees
greedily gathering pollen from the magnolia bloom......

But I didn't realize I had failed to press the button.

Just went back, but now the light is harsh, and there was
only one bee instead of 5.

So will try earlier tomorrow or later when the clouds return,
and post YouTube video asap.

¡ Muchas gracias, Mutisia!

This is the first time I have taken video of the
bees on the magnolia. I wish I had years ago.

It's this amazing community of gardeners & nature lovers that
has inspired me to look closer to see the details I've been missing.
