Mt. Airy Neighborhood, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - August 1, 2005.
Some neighbors up the block have giant sunflowers planted in their front yard. I *LOVE* sunflowers! As typical for the giant ones, the head is so heavy that is falls over. I shot this from below, and this time used flash to fill-light the flower in the evening sky. The flash gave it a very eerie, hard, and flat affect, but I like the effect of "freeze-frame" of the flower and the bee.
Look for more experimentation with flowers, particularly sunflowers, in the coming days.

Beautiful Pictures on your blog. I especially enjoyed this one!
Thanks, glad to hear it. I am also a "displaced New Yorker" who has lived in Philadelphia the past 15 years. NY is still in my blood, and I try to go as often as I can.

I think the old saying is very true: You can take the girl out of NY but not NY out of the girl. Or something like that. :)
