G1X in the rose garden

Today was a cloudy/rainy day--my favorite weather for photographing flowers.

So I went for a walk in a nearby rose garden. I will include some photos here.

As always, I welcome comments and constructive criticism. I am always seeking ways to improve my close-up photography.

Oh--if anyone can identify the bee in the last photo, I am interested in knowing about it. I don't believe I ever encountered one like that before.

Thanks,
Joe
