WW: Bumblebee in Hibiscus Flower

Bumble Bee in Flower Photo
"Handle a book as a bee does a flower, extract its sweetness but do not damage it."
 - John Muir

    Obsessed with this photo! Such a great one!!! I took one a long time ago of a BIG ol' bumble on a chamomile flower and it is one of my fave photos. I'll have to dig it out and post it sometime this week! You've inspired me :)
