I'll probably be sorry for trying this but I'm doing two memes today! This is for Odd Shots sponsored by Katney. Can you guess what it is? Scroll to the bottom of this post to see.

Really nice photo of the bumblebee on the purple coneflower!
Are those wires holding up a telephone pole? I have one of those in my side yard. ;-)
Love the photo with the bee and flower~Is that another bee on the flower?
Beautiful flower. Your odd shots are always great. You have great creative skills
Beautiful contribution to Today's Flower meme. Fantastic detail in your photo!
Fantastic flower and most fantastics bees!!!!
Beautiful post!
Thank you for your support to TODAY'S FLOWERS!
Have a nice week!

Wonderful flower and bees photo. It's hard enough getting one bee, but you got two! Good job!
Beautiful shots!
I love purple coneflower, and so do the bees! Your photo is lovely. And the wire photos clever (but yes, maybe you could have made two separate posts?)
Don't be sorry! Sometimes we have to make it all "fit".
Glad you are participating in both.
I figured that it was holding something up...but didn't know what.
Your flower shot is GORGEOUS!!!!!
A bee - up close and personal....about as close and personal as I would want to get only in a photo.
Nice pics.

Dot,
Good shot of the bumble bee - flower. I'm always amazed at pics like this because it's hard to catch the bees 'still' long enough.
We both went for the bees today! The contrast in colour between the bee and the flower is really nice - shows each off to full advantage!

I love the mama bee showing the baby how to de-nectar the flowers ... and I suspect it was a brace of some sort .. cleverly odd!
:-Daryl
good one!
Do click here to visit my Odd Shot for the week.
Dot: Your flower with the bees is really nice. You did a great capture on it.
Very neat putting sheathing on the cables - might prevent cattle getting too fond of rubbing on a rougher surface.
Those wires look a little dodgy!
Bingo!!
Loved the 'Odd Shot' and the flowers and insects is a cracker Dot.. excellent.. :O)
Mine is Here

Both photos are great.
Fantastic close up of the flower with the bees on it. I love cone flowers. I get a lot of goldfinches on mine.
Yes, it's hard to fit it all in, some days; then other times, nada.
Love your flower photo, with the bees, large and small.
The close up, My guess was guy-wires, so I was close.
Great photos, i would join the flower shot but i don't do flowers all that good.
Great odd shot -- it is fun taking parts of things like that. I got some shots of rides at the fair that are close up and personal like that. . . one day now that I am back to blogging again.
Beautiful flower with bees.
Looking again, maybe that's an ant by the bee?
Look at the two bugs having a snack together. Very cool image. I thought the cables were possibly to a bridge but I was wrong.
Beautiful coneflower, Dot! Love the big fat bee. Your Odd Shot is great too.
Wow! Great bumblebee shot!
Great odd shot
Such a beautiful closeup of the coneflower--would that be double dipping?
Nice post--thanks for sharing.
Happy week!
Beautiful photo.
I enjoy it.
Thanks for your visit to my blog.
Fantastic!!! Photos incredible, great macro.

Exceptional quality in these photos, Dot. Wow.
Well, I went over and joined Luiz Santilli Junior's flowers group and planted some flowers and they are already in bloom at my new blog, Thunder Maker.
It looks like I am going to have to try and catch up with everyone. So many blogs to stop at and make comments.

Your support wires look in much better condition than the ones round here! Do those jackets keep them warm?
Gostei.
o banquete está servido...
I liked.
The banquet is served ...
We have a wire almost exactly like that in our yard.
That is an awesome shot of the bee on the coneflower...
Those must be incredibly strong! very nice!
Great shots, Dot!
wonderful flower, excellent image.
What a beautiful flower!
Never would have guessed what it was. Funny the difference the angle of shot can make. Thanks for your funny comment on my Mr. Potato Head. We went to Pratville, AL this weekend and ate at the Bass Pro Shop.
Love the shot of the cone flower/bee!
Very odd object, but great clarity!
Great combination of memes!
hehehehe
"Louis" guessed the anchors for the phone wires!
Lovely crisp shot of the bee and flower!! Amazing.
The wire shot was well done as well.
I'm feeling the wrath of two memes in a day too!
Wow. Your capture never cease to amaze me. Great shot as always.
Have a nice day to you and your love ones.
Oh, oh, oh... Look at that Cone Flower and bee!!!

A fine flower shot with that marvelous close up.
I like the puzzle of the cable too. Nice shooting.
One might expect phone wires to be dull, gray and generic, but your closeup shows rich detail and vibrant colors. I especially like the crimson in the rust and the blues reflecting from the anchor.
Oh, fantastic picture of the bees.

I think that this is overwhelmingly great & good, fantastic photography, welldone Dot!

PLease come and visit my blog:)
Those things are used to hold a lot of things. If you see the part that's in the ground it looks like a drill bit so you just screw it into the ground. We put some on a swinging bridge to limit how much it could bounce.
BEAUTIFUL picture of the Rudbeckia! :)))
