I finally caught a Bumble Bee collecting pollen from wild vetch blossoms. I've always loved Bumble Bees with their sunny laid back dispositions. They are VERY good-natured--not minding too much that a large camera lens follows them along through the flowers!
I've loved wild vetch since I was a child--to me they look like little birds. There are many varieties of wild vetch. Each is quite lovely when examined close up. There is a mother-of-pearl quality about some types of vetch.

Beautiful shot, sissie!
I too remember playing with the "bird" blossoms of the vetch. We would pluck one, then fly it through the air like the bird it resembled. It seems I could fly as well ...
Great shot. That bee looks huge!
Nice! I tried some bee shots but was not successful. They stay hidden and then suddenly fly right out at you. I didn't last long. :)
wow, this is breath taking...such an incredible close up of both bee and flower. i don't think i've seen any vetch before...is it something regional?
He's a nice fat one! He almost looks cuddly.
Thank you for your comments on my blog. I also love Clytie's hearts blog. It is such fun seeing where she finds her hearts. She has the best eye. :)
