I made arrangements to take a vacation day last Thursday. I did this on Tuesday which showed a rain free forecast. As Thursday approached it was evident our trip to Mounts Botanical Garden would be a wash out.
What do you do when it rains on your photography outting?
You take pictures of rain drops!
I spotted this unusual bee at Mounts Botanical Garden. I believe it is a stringless melipona bee.
The following text is from wildflphoto dot com:
These are known as stingless honey bees and are native to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. These bees are now being cultivated by beekeepers in Cuba, where they have also reported to now be found wild.
Honey from Melipona bees has been harvested as long as 3000 years ago by the Mayan civilization and at least two species - Melipona beecheii and M. yucatanica - are kept by beekeepers in Central America today. These bees are suffering in their native territories from habitat loss.
Melipona bees produce much less honey than the European honey bees that most of us are familiar with. The honey is also more citrus-flavored and thinner. It can even be sipped through a straw straight from the little honey pots in the hive.

Magic
Living Monolith
"Luminous Giants and Playful Intrusion,"
The sheer magnificence of a towering sunflower head basking in the embrace of sunlight takes center stage. The mammoth bloom commands attention with its sheer scale and radiant presence, embodying nature's grandeur. Amidst this awe-inspiring scene, a mischievous touch of whimsy emerges as a tiny bee photobombs the moment, bringing an unexpected element of life and movement to the serene tableau. The convergence of the sunflower's splendor and the bee's candid interruption creates a dynamic and layered narrative, where nature's imposing beauty meets the fleeting antics of a tiny interloper, capturing a snapshot of both stillness and vivacity.otice the the bee, upper left, that appears to be watching me as I take the photo.
This is a mammoth sunflower I grew from seed in my own garden.

This reminds me of a highway man painting. We also observed 3 deer who crossed our path. They were skittish and close to a couple who her ahead of us. I was hoping to take a landscape with them in the background.
Maybe next time.

My story
My interest in photography was initially spurred by my love of nature and the pleasure I experience photographing South Florida's wetland areas. Each photo tells a story. I think it's far more interesting knowing what was involved in getting the shot than simply the end result and the few moments taken to release the shutter. I encourage you to read my blog where I share the experiences involved in taking many of my photos.
