The subject is simple and familiar, a bee and a flower. My eye was drawn, however, to the way this bee had latched on to the entire center of this flower in a full-bodied bee hug. The X-shape of the splayed legs and the radiating petals combine to produce a graphic effect that goes beyond the literal subject matter.

Is cute! Looks like he’s holding on, afraid to fall off 😉
Fear or love? Sometimes they look almost the same.
this is cute, as long as the bee isn’t hugging me!
