Wendy Candelaria Photography

Gift

While waiting to make some final photographs for the book Artist Cook and Gardener, I did some garden exploring and found the Camellia in full bloom. A cloud suddenly shifted and one flower was bathed in a ray of sunlight. As I photographed the flower a bee landed and posed for me. I had been trying to capture the bees on the flowers for several minutes only to get their tail ends at most as they busily made their way to all of the out of reach flowers. Only when I abandoned the idea of getting a bee photo did one finally come to me. This was truly a gift.
