Trumpet Vine Flower and a Bumblebee

Bumblebee and Trumpet Vine Flower

The trumpet vine flower (Campis radicans) has a special place in my heart. The reason for this when I first started submitting images for publication, my first cover was of a trumpet vine flower and a honeybee on the cover of "Honeybee Keepers". Yesterday morning we were out at Wilder Wildlife Management Area in know it, Massachusetts, mainly looking for macro subjects to photograph. I came across a large stand of trumpet vines and a bumblebee flying around and going inside of a trumpet vine flower to gather pollen. For some reason, although there were a lot of flowers around it picking on the same one which allowed for an interesting series of photographs.
