Waterlily and the Insect

Inset inside a waterlilly

I love capturing pictures of flowers. While on holidays with the kids a few weeks back I spotted this insect buzzing within a waterlily and tried to capture it in action.

Flying insect besides the waterlily

It didn’t really look like a bee so I wasn’t sure what it was. Anyone had any idea what insect it was? Do you think it is a wasp?

Another shot of the flying insect.

The insect wasn’t buzzing and wasn’t too bothered that I was hovering over it with my camera. It did fly too and fro from the flower and I managed to catch it in action.

It is interesting how plants in nature are able to provide substance for other living creatures in our world.

Butterfly resting on a leaf

This butterfly was harder to snap as it was more sensitive to movements and flew off before I could get a few more photographs of it. I’m lucky that the above shot turned out clear as I just snapped away without having sufficient time to focus on the insect.

What have you been photographing lately?

Random Blooms- Photographed on Vacation

A Hibiscus

Every time I travel with the kids I take the opportunity to snap some pictures with my camera of my favourite subject – flowers.

Waterlilies in a pond

For this shot I had to zoom all the way in to be able to capture a clear shot of the blooms in the water. I love how the light bounced off the water and illuminated the flowers in the pond.

A light pink bloom

I spotted this bloom on a tree. It was a really lovely shade of pink don’t you think? I think it would certainly look nice floating in a glass bowl.

Pink and yellow blooms

Tiger girl spotted this cluster of mini blooms in the garden while we were waiting for a table at a restaurant we wanted to try for lunch. It was really interesting to see the combination of colors on a flower.
