Macro photograph of a fuzzy native bumblebee nestled deep within the cluster of a bright purple phlox flower. The bee’s golden-orange thorax glows warmly in the fading evening sunlight, framed by overlapping petals and unopened buds. Its wings, partly visible, catch a faint shimmer but are tucked close to its body as it settles in to rest. The petals around it are a vibrant mix of magenta and violet, some blurred in the foreground and edges, creating a dreamy, layered effect. The green background is soft and out of focus, enhancing the intimacy of the scene. The composition conveys the quiet stillness of dusk, capturing the tender moment when bees curl into blossoms for the night. Taken with a Nikon Z6 III paired with a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro lens. In the lower left corner, text reads: “In for the Night, Copyright © 2025.” Can you please like, comment, or share my photo? I’m just trying to find out if people read the text.
