Description
A honeybee positions itself during a windy afternoon to land on a lavender (Lavandula) plant, a good choice to feature in the garden to attract these VIPs - Very Important Pollinators.
Photography notes:: Except for minor post-field processing of color and sharpness, the bee's position in relationship to the flower stalk and the background image are "as is".
I am grateful to God for my Mom's encouragement to get out my camera for this photo shoot. Thanks, Mom! :-)
"The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes.
The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold; they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb."
Psalm 19:7-10, Amplified Bible
