Now I've been told that my photos here are great shots etc. Some even told me I shou;ld be selling them somewhere. Anyhow I went out to take some shots of my Asiatic Lilies for an update in one of my discussions. I did that then proceeded to take shots of other plants/flowers/trees etc for maybe a discussion. And lo and behold did I ever get a
great shot I feel for a discussion. I have a few Rasberry Bushes planted. These are the never ending blooming variety. That means
that once that start to bloom I get Rasberries from June till
about October or the first frost. Anyhow they are starting to
form into berries now. As I snapped a few shots I finally caught
one of the tiny bees I see around pollinating one and this is the rresult of that photo. I thinks it's a great shot. Anyhow enjot.
I'll be enjoying berries in a couple weeks I think too.

Bob, once again you amaze me with your talents. The best I can say is WOW!!!
I'm not sure if mylot would let me save it to my computer or not. I'd really like to blow it up a little and hang it in my bedroom. It's the EXACT kind of shots that I love!! (Of course, I'd only do it with your permission!) :)
Thank again for sharing your talents.

Lucky you to be enjoying raspberries that you planted, Grandpa Bob. Like I had said in an earlier discussion, the ones I buy never grow. The 2 I had just bought bout a month ago haven't done anything. They look like I just took 2 sticks and stuck em in the ground. No leaf bud or anything.

That is a fantastic photo! I see pictures like that and it makes me think of how wonderful our world is, such a little bee can make things happen, it just puts things in perspective.

Great shot Grandpa Bob! I am never able to manage to catch insects on film. I don't have a decent zoom. Thanks for sharing this as well as your lillies, I have really enjoyed seeing them all!

I just got back from outside. I have been trying for days to get a shot of those fat black honey bees or whatever type they are. Everytime I get the zoom and settings set just right it flies off. HAHA! Thanks.

Cool shot! I have a cheaper camera and I can not do close ups with it. I got it mostly to photograph my girlscouts at various events and it does great for that.
I can't wait to see the lily photos though I hope you have some new one's.

I love this photo Bob. It really ius excellent. It is the kind of photo worth submitting for payment in a magazine, or in a competition. People love to seeee close up photos of nature at it's best.
The flowr is pretty too.

They are VERY invasive. Meaning they sprout out all over
the place from their roots. I've had more sprout out 5 feet
from the bushes. HAHA. tasty little berries they are.

Thank you for the compliments. It's just a Canon SuperShot A540.
It costs around $200. A good fairly priced excellent camera.
I'll have berries in a couple weeks I think.

Great shot Grandpa bob. I will be posting some photos I took while on vacation I took one of some flowers at a rest stop in Idaho on highway 84 and when I looked through it I found I got some bees also.
Great job. I rated your photo.

That is a great picture!! What do you do with all those berries that you grow? Are you able to freeze them and use them later on for baking? I bet they would be wonderful poured into a muffin mix.

We don't get that many. I started with a few cuttings 2 years ago. I then gave my daughter a lot of the off shoot growths. Now I've about 8 more off shoots growing. I'll have a few berries but not a lot. I don't do the canning, freezing, or saving of them. I eat them as I walk past the berries. Hahaha! Maybe in a few years I'll have enough to store and freeze or even make some jam or jelly. Thanks and have a great day/evening.

Grandpa Bob, you're really making me yearn for my own garden. But here in high rise singapore, landed property is scarce and horribly expensive. so i shall just have to content myself with the common park areas and trees nearby. The public housing surroundings are quite nicely landscaped, but guess there's nothing quite like having your own garden and own blooms. Something special about watching those little heads pushing out from the ground. Bulbs and seeds and the like.
the closest my mum got was with planting chilli seeds in a pot outside our home, and those grew to produce chilli pods!

You are quite a photographer and have such awesome garden related photos to share. I enjoy looking at all you post here. Be careful with those berries you don't want to get a tummy ache.

Thank you very much for the compliments. I love sharing my garden, flowers etc with friends and the general community here. Oh I share them berries with my daughter, grandsons,and neighbors. Here's a shot of some flying bug on the leaf of the same berry bush. It also appears to be some type of bee or wasp. I am not sure about this though. If anyone knows what this insect is please let me know here? Thanks.
