"Bee-utiful Photos from the Garden"
By Wolfgang Gunther

Photo Editor's Comments:

I chose to use two of Wolfgang's extraordinary pictures for this month's photo submission which showcased not only his camera skills, but a familiar garden feature of the season.

Background:

The photos depict a bee, having feasted on tiger lily blooms, probably somewhat inebriated, trying to climb up to a launching site for further flight. I took several shots while the opportunity was there.
