The focus today over at Shutter Sisters is on 'out of body' photographs - those that are captured by accident. I'm still enough of a neophyte at photography to think that any good photo I take is captured by accident, but this one seemed to fit so well. Last spring I was taking photos of the blossoms on our red bud tree, a new beauty to me; it was only when I reviewed the photo later that I realized this honeybee had snuck in. The bee adds a sense of energy, brings a story to the photo that would not have been there without it. I like to imagine her going about her busy bee day, visiting all the pretty flowers and taking the nectar back to her sisters at the hive.

beautiful!
Cool~!!
I agree...
Along with your tea, don't you love honey? Thank you, bees!
Would you save me some redbud seeds? Seriously.
This is a wonderful shot! You gotta love those "lucky accidents". Please keep sharing the beauty with us!
Thank you for all of your sweet comments! I'm glad you like the photo.
Martha, I love your point about honey! I'd save you some seeds, but I don't think our tree is the kind that produces them. :-( I'll take a look, though!
I love the soft pastels in this shot, brilliant!
