Amazing shot of a bumble bee at work (Photography) I spent some time at the Canton Garden Center again today. I didn't have the boys with me, so I was able to take my time. It's tough getting clear shots of hyperactive bees because they are always super busy. After some patience, I was able to get some really nice shots (at least in my amateur opinion) of bees in action, doing what bees do. My goal was to get them on this particular flower because of the contrast. I think it turned out pretty well.

From today's trip to the Canton Garden Center (Photography) I love taking pictures, especially when there is a great deal of contrast. When I saw this flower while my wife and I were exploring the Canton Garden Center.   I knew I wanted to remove the background color, so the flower would really pop.  I don't use any apps that auto-remove the background, I do it by hand on my tablet. I use Color Splash FX, and manually remove the background color, sometimes pixel by pixel.  I get a sense of satisfaction out of creating something like this on my own. This is one of my favorite ways to I have to help me manage stress, and cope with all thays involved in being an Autism parent.

This is the coolest bee I've ever seen (photography) The boys and I were out exploring nature the other day. They Pokémon hunt, and explore creek beds. I take pictures of anything that catches my eye. I've mentioned before I have a thing for beds, and I was floored when I stumbled across this one. I have no idea what it's called but it's beautiful. I was able to use the picture to teach my kids how bees help pollinate plants and flowers. I just can't get over how cool this thing looks..
