It was quote, dredged from the depths of my long term memory - except that this rose is yellow, not crimson.

This flower, a voluntary, comes up profusely in one of my gardens every year, but I have yet to determine its name.

We had a volunteer pumpkin sprout in our front yard... Must have seeded itself after our Halloween decorations were "taken care of" by the neighborhood kids...
The main subject here is the honey bee, but figured it was worth a post anyways - the picture would be incomplete without the pumpkin flower magnifying the color of the morning sun!

Petals in the third image are eye-catching - attractive pattern and pleasing color.

Thanks. More of the same, this time with the DA 35 Macro:

Those have the look of being tweaked with a PS filter, "pastel" perhaps?

No filter. The "pastel" effect probably result of the rendering of the 35 limited combined with the diffraction brought on by stopping the lens way down (f18 and f22).
