Description
A black-tailed bumble bee (Bombus melanopygus) performs aerial ballet, traipsing between clusters of California lilac blossoms (Ceanothus) as it pollinates hundreds of these lovely blossoms each day.
“O Lord, what an amazing variety of all you have created!
Wild and wonderful is this world you have made,
while wisdom was there at your side.
This world is full of so many creatures, yet each belongs to you!”
~ Psalm 104:24

Artwork notes:
I tweaked this image in Photoshop by moving some of the blossoms in the upper right edge and center bottom closer into the photo.
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
