18+ dillyd , 4 days ago It was a glorious afternoon, sunny and breezy, and I had all these nice visitors. #bloomscrolling #bees #lavender Another bumblebee, I'm not sure which kind but maybe a common eastern, with all black stripes on its abdomen, and big orange pollen baskets, on a sprig of lavender. Another bee but I don't know what kind. Thinner than the bumblebee, with orange and black stripes on its abdomen. Working at a purple lavender flower. This last photo is just the lavender, no bees. The late afternoon sunlight is glorious, highlighting and backlighting the purple petals and buds. The springs are growing diagonally, from the lower right to the upper left.
