A Teasel and a Bee


The 'Wild Teasel' (Dipsacus fullonum )

Photographed in the 'Courtright Center' 
just a few km North of Toronto.
While I was setting up the tripod, a bee came to collect nectar
thereby changing a simple flower picture into 
an adventure in wild life.
The difference between this bee drinking its fill 
from this flower near Toronto
and an Elephant slurping water from a pond in Botswana
is merely in size.





A Teasel and a Bee.




The Bee is covered with pollen
thereby guaranteeing the growth of  new Teasels 
elsewhere.
