Cactus flower the bee was feasting on last week. Shot with 150mm macro lens. It takes the prettiest photos.
I've never seen a cactus flower up close before. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese ones are white and another of ours is white too but some of them are pink, yellow, red, all sorts of amazing colours.
DeleteWow, what an interesting selection of images. Really must get some macro lenses. I keep saying that! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteI don't take this lens on walks with me because it's too big and heavy when as often as not I have an over-excitable dog in one hand, but I keep borrowing it from hubby for fun backyard shots. The more I use it the more I love it.
DeleteGorgeous - do cacti grow in the wild in Australia or is this a house plant?
ReplyDeleteSome grow in the wild - escaped from back yards and considered a noxious weed, they are not native - but this one is in my back yard.
DeleteStunning detail, beautiful set of photos
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Thanks Darren, you must remember to update your blogger profile with Photalife. Thanks for hosting 'My Sunday Photo' every week.
DeleteOh my all the stages in one post, absolutely mesmerizing
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit of a challenge I must say. I had to keep remembering to go and take the shots. It's all over so fast (24 hours) and there were only 2 flowers. Most of the time the flower is open is overnight.
Deleteooh that is just beautiful, i didn't even know that cactus flowered what a beautiful shot x
ReplyDeleteSome flower very prolifically and for weeks, others, like this one, flower rarely sometimes not even once a year.
DeleteThat is just beautiful! You have captured so much detail!
ReplyDeleteDetail shots are always challenging but having the right lens certainly helps.
Deletewow totally cool! I know it takes time and effort to get such beautiful shots but it is so worth it for us! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYou just made my day! I'm glad my efforts are appreciated ;o)
DeleteAmazing lighting and the soft focus of it. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe lighting was pure luck thanks to mother nature. The 150mm macro is known for it's cream soft focus bokeh. It's addictive.
DeleteBEAUTiful sequence! Thanks for sharing this wonder with us. Smiles, Linda at Paper Seedlings.
ReplyDeleteMight it inspire a little bee card?
DeleteSo pretty!! You take such beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia =) I've gotten better over the last year making sure I have new photos to post every Sunday.
