That's a lovely rose shot, Dave. I love the shadings of yellow that you captured so well.
This native bee is very small. The flower itself is less than 1cm and they only open in the late afternoon for a short period. Thus there is little available light and the bees only alight on the flower for a nanosecond before darting to another flower. My daughter's camera had built in flash but mine didn't. Thus the credit goes to her for this which is just one of a series that she captured while I was getting flowers after the bee had left. At best I'd get a blurry bee leaving. The bee and the plant are dependant on each other. I haven't seen other insects visiting the flowers.
She takes after me but is an even better photographer than me.

Happiness simply is.
There need be no pursuit.
