Busy Bees in Maryland:  Photowalking in Kentlands

 

An early morning walk is a good time to enjoy the flowers in your community and the light is perfect for photographs.  In Kentlands, there are thousands of coneflowers and the bees are busy at this time of the year.

Take time to enjoy the beauty of the gardens in your neighborhood.  And, you might even benefit from the extra exercise.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I just returned from an early morning photowalk through Kentlands and Lakelands.  Another beautiful day in Maryland.

William:  I dropped out of the photoblogger group because it is not currently being managed.  The featured posts are all old.  I hope someone will activate the group.

Roy,  That is a great picture of the busy bee hard at work.  Hopefully he didn't buzz by your head after the shot.

The wonderful bee sitting atop that gorgeous flower seems to have been made fat off the pollen.  These are amazing photos, Roy!  CONGRATULATIONS on having this blog FEATURED in the Photos group!
