These photos are from today's visit to Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens in Washington DC. Besides the stunning flowers, it's a great place for birding.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Nice details and color!
Bees legs are funny when they fly.

#1 is absolutely stunning, color and detail abound and I like all around it as well, solid winner of shot

#2 you nicely captured the delicate parts and wonderful leaf detail here. Truly beautiful pinks!
#3 looks like this lotus flower is trying to put up a shield from the bee, great capture on both subjects
Simply sweet and YGMV these are top notch Morris!

Great representation of the lotus Moris, by the time I get to them, usually just the hard center is left, or I'm too early, and it's the bud. Heh.
