Surrender - (enlarge)

Very nice shot of this bee "working" with the shiny wings of her.  I like her "pose" too...take care Gail!

Hi Gail, great details of this bee, nice image with lovely colors. We need to surrender is an act of humbling ourselves, perhaps the most difficult because we always want to prove ourselves and others that we are capable of all. Yes, surrender is need it, and  always we found the creator catching us!!!!

Hugs and love,

You are so right Luisa. Many thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts with me Luisa. Surrendering of ourselves can and is very difficult. So often in life, if people have been mistreated by friends who they've trusted, it becomes very difficult for them to 'trust' people again. I experienced that just after I had Shauna. Someone close to me had 'betrayed' me, and I truly had a very open and giving heart, and just naturally expected that of others. I was very 'hurt' by this person. It took some time for me to understand that even though we think we have 'good and giving' hearts, it is not always the case with others. I soon learned not to put that expectation on others and found that I was not 'disappointed' as often. The birds, bees (all creatures) amaze me. How they are created and follow their migratory paths each year, they are hardwired so different than man. We have 'free will'. A 'gift' that I have learned to be very careful with.

Thank you Luisa always for sharing your thoughts with me.

your friend, Gail

Hello there, so good to hear from you! Always good to hear when you enjoy one of my images.

talk soon, Gail

you must be ok with bees Gail...very nice macro and beautiful colors...regards....David

Gail!!Dispite all the fine words already been written and I have to agree, have small minus point and that is ,to your left the flower leading bit  from your great work . That is my opinio ,best regards janegbert

I understand what you are saying. But I dot know if you mean the part to the upper area of the left upper leg of Bee or the blurry image of the flower to the left. I can understand your concern about either. I just was not sure where to crop the image. I shall try another crop and see how it looks!!! thanks so much for your kindness in letting me know.

Sincere regards, Gail

I don't mind sitting and letting the bees do their 'thing' all around me. I just am not fond when they get 'right in my face' which is not that often. Sincere thanks for sharing your input on this image.

always good to hear from you, Gail

Well composed with the bee (subject) who is busy at his job.  Very sharp details.  The color contract just makes the bee more outstanding.  Best Regards,

Sincere thanks for that very nice compliment on this image, and am very grateful to hear that you liked it.

kind regards, Gail
