Description
A common scene around the country side here are these White Prickly Poppies , barbed wire and bees. But, to see them all together is a real treat at least for me it was
---------------------------------------
White Prickly Poppy Argemone albiflora
---------------------------------------
Taken with a 75-300mm lens
---------------------------------------
I put this under flowers and plants but, I really wanted to put it in Landscape as it seemed more like a full scene to me rather than just a flower pic
What do you think? Should I leave it in flowers & plants or put it in Landscape?

Wow. I don't know why I'm so mesmerized by this photo. It's not just the shot (which is amazing, by the way) but something about this image just really touches me. I can't explain it.

Me too. What a beautiful flower to have so many prickly thorns. As always, an excellent capture. Well done!!

Thank you

Great capture! Luck, or were you chasing that bee?

Thank you

Luck is good.
I think one would need a trained bee for a planned one, or else go chasing after it like I did for one of my early pictures.

Chasing is fun especially when peeps are around cause then you get to look like a loon who just escaped from the looney bin

Ah, for the love of art. I sometimes wonder what people think if they see me taking pictures of a wall or a rusted object, for texture shots in my stock account. I got a lot of odd looks the day I chased the bee, and aware of that, I then stood up and took a picture of the sidewalk, flash and all. They looked away. I guess that was TOO weird.

It can be a lot of fun! 
Have you ever seen Harold and Maude?

I remember seeing it a long time ago but, I don't remember what it was about.

A young man, Harold, stages various suicidal scenes to get at his mother... and he goes to funerals and meets and falls in love with 80 year old Maude. Lots of mindfucking there!

i might have to rent that and watch it again

I think that's a very good idea.

I would keep it in 'flowers and plants', Hun. I don't see much of a landscape. Your main subject is that flower. Don't cha think, Hun???? I like that Texas country feeling to this shot. Nice capture of that bee in flight.

Yeah but, I just thought it was more of a scenery pic rather then just a flower pic.....Thanks

I have a longhorn somewhere in my gallery.... and it would have been a classic postcard shot if there had been one in this*sigh* that would be a cool capture.
Thank you so much
Scenery would have been a perfect location for it.

Very nice capture!!! Love the contrast of the barbed wire and the leaves - soft bee and graceful flower!!! Well done!

Amazing shot, but would of liked it better if the wire was not in the shot, nice flower and bee though

Cool. But wouldn't it have to be the size of a billboard to be a REAL Texas postcard?

Beautiful and detailed capture!! I love the flying bee...
