As it neared bed time I realized I had not shot a single photo today. I had planned to go to a basketball game and a play but decided a night at home was in order after a long week. As I went into the game room I noticed the blooms on the Christmas Cactus. I’m not sure it if has just bloomed or if I have just not noticed it but it caught my attention. The shot above is an angle I took from below the plant and in macro mode.

We continue to have a number of bumblebees attracted to the flowers around the yard. Most flock to the butterfly bushes but this one was on the lantana in the back yard. I like this closeup shot that I took this morning.

I love taking photos of insects, birds, and other animals. I caught this bumblebee on a flower this afternoon at the Falls Park. The original image was nice but I played with the picture some by cropping it and running it through software to create a simple HDR (High Definition Range) image. The colors and narrow focus make this image stand out for me.
