🙂 I’m hoping this year to get to Saguaro National Park or one of the other spots with masses of saguaros when they start flowering. I’ve heard it’s utterly gorgeous.
Thanks, Becky! Even better for our purposes, this was quite a ways UP above my head but thanks to a telephoto and judicious cropping, it looks quite close. 🙂
I like seeing that bees are being well fed. : ) I have good luck in our garden, they usually ignore me. Only when I mistakenly harvested a flower a bee was actively working on did I get stung and rightly so!
Well captured!
Thanks, Sue. It was quite a sight.
A few prickly landings, if you get it wrong 🙂 🙂
Doesn’t seem to bother the bees or the birds either for that matter.
Great shot for all of us gardeners whose pulse quickens just looking at it. 🙂

Great capture – such a beautiful picture.
Saguaro flowers are beautiful but the bees obviously appreciate them for more than that! 🙂
This shot is way cool!
Thanks. The birds and bees love the flowers and fruit of cacti but there were just so many here that it caught my attention immediately.

Fresh out of a Star Wars-type movie. PS: I think you’ll love my collaborator’s work today … and you are on the docket for next Saturday! 🙂
Very cool. I think I’ve always enjoyed the work or your collaborators, so no worries there.
what a fabulous shot

even more an extraordinary shot then!
Oooh I like this one! 🌞
The bees liked it, too. 🙂 Thanks, Lisa.
Well done!
Thanks, Dan. These are some bees of serious size! I’m happy they’re interested in the flower, not me! 🙂
That’s a terrific shot, Janet!
Thanks, J2!
What a cool sight to see, and an awesome capture!
Thanks, Madison, it was pretty cool. The saguaro is such a vital part of the desert and this show just a bit of that.
Great shot. Looks like they need air traffic control
Yes, I certainly hope they’re all keeping on the correct runway!!
😂
Looks like a busy hub for those bees. Great find, Janet!
It was amazing, Deborah.
I can imagine it! 😀🐝
They’re out in force!
That they were and they’re big ones!
Amazing shot. Glad they didn’t land on you!
Me too! These bees don’t seem too interested in people, though, thankfully.

That is a really cool
Photo Janet
And the thumbnail
Looked like climbers going up a mountain
Then the larger version had all that ol rusty
Sometimes the thumbnail/what’s in the Reader are is very deceptive, isn’t it? 🙂 Keeps life interesting, I guess.
Yeah and I was mobile on first scroll so it was extra small
And hope your weekend is going well
Oh wow..Nice! 🙂
I’m glad you liked it, Lily. 🥰

Hahahaha! Love this, Janet!
It was quite something to see. Just glad they were that far up!
