Today's Flower # 78 - Visitors

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 2 GMT is the post time.

Today is a mixture of flowers and visitors to the blooms. Here is a Bumblebee and a beetle on the flower.
The little spider wanted to get in on a visit.

Here we have a Honeybee gathering some nectar.
The final visitor turned out to be a leaf, how did it jump up here?

There are a lot of great flowers at the above site.

  6. Tom, what beautiful shots, the colors are so sharp and clear! And I like your choice of topic today. Some of my favorite pictures are of bees and butterflies and other bugs and spiders on flowers and plants. Very nicely done! ~karen

  33. It's great to see these flowers. I left the house a little later today and the sun shone bright. It almost felt like early spring. I do not kid myself though, because we're in for about twelve inches of snow tomorrow.
