Garden Madness, Part the Eighth

[nonelvis]

I didn't really expect to have more garden photos this late in the year, but just before we left on vacation last week, I took a few shots of the morning glories, as well as the bees enjoying the giant rudbeckia.


My friend Tim gave me some antique morning glory seeds a few years ago. In August, they take over the garden and cover up the ugly chain-link fence. I keep meaning to get some seeds for blue morning glories to complement these deep purple ones, but I am lazy.


The bees were so kind to pose for these photos. (The wind was much less cooperative.)


It is worth clicking on this one to get the larger-size photo, because then you can see all the little hairs on the bee. SO CUTE.

Cute hairy back (or should this body part be called scruff or withers in English?)!

And it is not even an auto-post that gives opportunity for such a rarely used comment.

I am a little afraid to try the auto-post feature, given all the fanfic I've posted lately.

On the other hand, this might make for an unexpectedly interesting new story ...

What a gorgeous morning glory, with the contrasting stripes. And lovely macros, too.

Thank you! I don't think the interior should be quite as glowy as it is, but hey, for a quick shot taken with the camera on automatic, it turned out okay.

I'm surprised the bee has such a hairy back. I'd assume they'd wax.

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?
