My sis sent this photo of three bumblebees in a squash blossom. Her backyard garden is in full bloom and harvest mode now, but she can't remember if this blossom was from one of several prolific zucchini plants or the "volunteer" pumpkin in the corner. She confessed she went through the garden snapping stuff more to test her new camera than make an exact record of the progress of her vegetables.
She thinks it might be the first pumpkin blossom from last year's Hallowe'en pumpkin left out near the small compost pile. Through all the heavy rain, snows, and freezing winter, those seeds survived and just popped up cheekily when they were ready.
I am unconcerned about the genealogy of this blossom. I love it nonetheless! And I thought you might too, that's why I've enclosed a larger sized copy if you click on the link above. [You are free to use it for personal use only.]
I also thought it was the perfect metaphor for a busy Monday. I hope your Monday is going well and you are doing your "busy-bee" routine -- and having fun at the same time. Thanks for dropping by!
Have a great week!

That's an awesome picture. The flower is lovely too.
Loree! My sis loves it, too and she said for fun she might enter it in the local fair next month. We both love bees, so it's a new special photo. It's my desktop wallpaper now. [I'm always changing the backdrop, but this one might stay a little longer! LOL] Thanks for your comment! :D
Wow stunning picture..

Andrew!! Thanks for your comment today!! Yes, the color is amazing! No wonder there are so many bumble bees in there buzzin' around! LOL thanks for visiting! :D
Gorgeous picture,I think she captured a winner.
MaggieMay!! I am so glad you liked the photo!! We think it did turn out to be the pumpkin blossom, because that plant in the corner has produced several rather largish pumpkins. The are still on the vine and haven't turned completely orange yet. They are dark green like the leaves in the photo with streaks of lighter green and pale gold turning to orange, slowly, ever so slowly. I probably should go over and snap a photo of the pumkins before she harvests. :D
