Blossoms at Trent (Update: May 18)

One of my favourite things about Spring is probably admiring trees with beautiful blossoms.  There is just something about the colourful and fragrant flowers and the attraction to insects and birds that draw me to photographing them.  I have been waiting for the trees at Trent to flower for a while now, and now the moment is finally here!

So beautiful!

Thursday (May 16)

Blue sky is the perfect background for pink blossoms.

A perfectly-sized bouquet

Brown-belted Bumble Bee (Bombus griseocollis) flying with its hungry tongues hanging out.


Brown hairs at the base of the second segment of the abdomen suggest it's a Brown-belted.

Using a telephoto lens to create the beautiful bokeh is my preferred technique.

Adjusting your position will create a different coloured background.  These flowers are the same as the one above, but different colours bring a different mood to the photograph.

Like I said, blue sky is my favourite backdrop

Saturday (May 18) - Took more photos today as I was waiting for the bus in the evening to go home.

Beautiful Saturday
