Southeast US: bees & flowers & mushrooms (oh my!)

[pipisafoat]

In my (landlady's) front garden, there's a plant that seems to be a favorite of the local bee population. I have enjoyed watching them for quite some time and decided to share. The camera I'm using is, well, pretty slow, so it took a while to get these shots. (Again, all shots can be clicked for gigantic, uncropped version.)






Also in this garden, there's a mysterious (but quite nice) flower. Right beside the front porch. It gets visited by the salamander-types a lot, but they're too fast for me to share pictures of them, too. Further up in the yard, there is a tree stump that has been repurposed by some slightly enormous mushrooms.






(not the flower I promised you, Liz! because I am slow (and/or busy) and that's still on my camera. but I do have pictures of it! just have to remember to post them.)

The first image of the bee is especially lovely. Thank you for sharing! :-)

I like how you can see the fluffy fuzziness on that one! I always want to pet bees. (I hear that's not a common desire when faced with a bee.)

Glad you like! :)
