Eliza Waters 
An intimate capture Eliza✨
Thank you, Stormie! Hope you are doing well. ❤
Oh wow, Eliza. That is fantastic!
Thank you, Dale, she was a fascinating surprise that morning.
No kidding! And she was lovely enough to pose for your camera 🙂
I think she spent the night on the railing and was too heavy to fly, but she did recover, thankfully.
That would make sense. Thankfully, indeed!
Wonderful
Thank you, Karina.
Wow, your photography skills are second to none, Eliza! 💕
Aw, shucks, 🙂 thanks, Isha. I wish I had a proper macro lens for my camera, but this was the best I could muster.
I doubt most could tell the difference. Love your work!
🙂 ❤
…and I’m looking up ‘Dewy Bee’ & not finding info on it ….new kind of bee for me…🤭😳🤣 Got it now!
Ha! Love it. 🙂
Amazing, I never saw wings like this, a great photo Eliza!
Thank you, John. Not a common sight here either. She must have tired before nightfall and took her nap on the railing. 🙂
Such a sweet photo Eliza! 💛
Thank you, Xenia. 🙂
Great detail on this, Eliza!
Thank you, Sandy. I was lucky she allowed me to get so close. 🙂
This could be used for an ad for some skin beauty product.
Ah, yes, fresh as the dew! 🙂
Nice shot, but I was a bit confused by the title and expecting Romper Room’s Do-Bee. 🙂
Thanks, David. 😀
Wow….how beautiful! Great capture.
Thank you! ❤
Lol, I looked like that on Monday after several sudden downpours while at work! Certainly I was too heavy to fly. 😉
Great capture of an unusual aspect of a bee’s life.
Thank you, Allison. I would have liked to see you looking like this bee. 😉
Nice one, Eliza. 😊
Thank you, Irene! Too bad I didn’t have one of your nice macro lenses, but this will have to do. 😉
You did great with what you had and that is the true test. I have had many more awful results with my macro lens due to my own errors. Yet, many people capture gorgeous images with their phones and I can’t seem to hold my phone steady enough to take a sharp pic. Go figure! 😂
Hmmm…you must have got up rather early for this, Eliza. 🙂 I bet that bee, and the rest of us, could use a little refreshing rain in all this heat.
Yes, one of my rare early risings, ha! One day to go, then we get the storms that will hopefully cool things down. This mugginess is barely tolerable.
Wow, this is just amazing Eliza! So very very wonderful.
Thank you, Sylvia! x
Wonderful photo, Eliza!
Thank you, Belinda!
Beautiful photo, she seems refreshed by the dew!
Thank you, Frank. It was sweet to see her just waking up.
She needs to find a nice flower to sleep in next time!
Yes, I was surprised that she camped out there as opposed to the hanging plant a foot or two away.
This made me smile!
Glad to hear it! 🙂
One doesn’t often find a bee napping!
It must be our cooler temps because I see bees napping on flowers quite often. Do you know honeybees only live about 5 days and produce a teaspoon of honey in that time? I consume a bee’s lifework with every cup of tea I drink… definitely gives me pause, with gratitude and appreciation.
That is a sobering thought!
Oops, my error, bees live 5-6 weeks during active months and 5-6 months during winter. And I just checked my other ‘fact’ (where did I ever get those first figures is beyond me) and it is even less honey per bee. 1/12 tsp. over 6 weeks. Oh, dear, I feel like a squandering overlord!
Beautiful details!
Thank you, Maria!
Thank you!
Beautiful composition. I’m not seeing many bees lately.
Thank you, Susie. That news makes me sad. Collectively, we really have to change the chemical paradigm that plagues our modern world. Folks have to recognize that we are all connected to the great web of life. Matt.25:40 comes to mind: ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
How heavy those little dew drops must have been on her wings! Beautiful picture, Eliza!
Thank you, Barbara. I thought the same, that’s a big payload!
Love this 🐝
Thank you, Val! 🙂
Bee-utiful capture, Eliza. ❤
Thank you, Robin!
Very nice Eliza! Enjoyed seeing your image!
Thank you, Reed!
Lovely–feels so intimate.
🙂 Thanks, Shayleene.
Very nice bea. I like photo
Thank you!
I can honestly say, of all the wildlife encounters I have had over the years, I have never ever seen a dewy bee. This is capture is so great, Eliza.
Wow, with all your travels, that is saying a lot. 🙂 Thanks, Jet!
I like this photo. I’m smiling here. The dewy bee is quite a good model!
Thanks much, Ally!
Great capture !
Thank you!
What an unusual sighting. Glad to read that the bee survived to fly another day!
Thank you, Carol. I guess she decided to camp under the stars that night. 🙂
Beautiful capture!!
Thank you! 🙂
Do, do, do what the dew, dew, dew did do.
🙂 Thanks, Steve.
