Nice work Beth #10758218Beth Spencer July 06, 2013
Thanks, these were in one of my flower beds that Rocky took over and planted it for the bees. It was bright and mid morning. I ended up shooting from below them and using the blue sky as background. The flowers are really cute on these, Rocky says you can eat the leaves but no thanks. Here are a couple more. #10758591Debbra Bailey July 08, 2013
