Love the shots of the bees!! Turned out great! BTW, seems as if the American and German bees look different!

great pics!
Here are some that I took in California:
Red Sunflowers that Richard bought us from a lady on the street - Tonya and I were flabbergasted that there were RED SUNFLOWERS until Kelly said that they put the dye in the stems and turn them red hence making the water PINK!

Flower's from Gini''s Garden

Great pictures, I also love the hat!!

I have a "job" for this Saturday, I have to be the "photographer" at my brothers wedding reception that is at our house. I asked my mom if I had to work/ help on Saturday, and she said no, but then she said I am going to be the "photographer" I'm really excited, but I don't want the people to stop what they are doing, and smile at the camera, I want everyone to just keep on with what they are doing, so I can capture the atmosphere. Hopefully the people will cooperate!

[shais_mom]

that's exciting!
I'll look forward to seeing the results!

I took some more pics at my parents house today.

And some older stuff...

my lens was steamed up! but I think they turned out ok
and it was hard to find blooms that didn't have a ton of Japanese beetles in them or that hadn't been ravaged by them.

[Kirsten]

Great pictures everyone, but Riptide, yours look truly professional!
What kind of camera do you use, a SLR (reflex cam)? And which settings did you use for those? The pictures are so clear, and the colors look so bright and natural! I especially love the picture of the seal.

Thanks! Yep, I use the Canon EOS Digital Rebel, which is an SLR. I believe I used the action mode for all of them because the sudder speed is faster that way ^^ Although I think I used Portrait for the profile of Pixie...can't remember for sure though.

A few more...these were taken in California.
