A bee that likes color

Another bee in our front garden enjoying one of our brilliantly colored azaleas.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

My favorite cardinal, again, posted earlier:

Colors attract bees but I'm attracted too by such gorgeous color.

Beautiful capture! Bees really do like color, and flowers evolved their colors to attract bees and pollinators rather than us. The actually have patterns on their petals in the ultraviolet, that the bees see, but sadly we can't.
