ತುಂಬೆಹೂವು ಮತ್ತು ಜೇನುಹುಳ

Tumbe flower is one of Lord Shiva's favorite flowers, a soft velvety single petal flower with a mild aroma. I think thumbe-gida is a wild plant.


A moment before I shot, the bee zipped into the frame.


The bee would hover at a point for couple of seconds. In a flash it would be hovering at a different point. This particular type of bee has superb control on its movement- stop, hover, move, stop, hover.


Probably that's the way it inspects a flower before settling on it to gather nectar.


Wonderful creature!
