Flower Power

Austin is probably one of the coolest cities in the US. Its a great place all around, because there are lots of things to see/do and because of the "Keep Austin Weird" mentality, its also one of the more unique places. So much art and culture comes out of this one city it's amazing. One of my favorite photographers, Trey Ratcliff, is also from and takes a ton of pictures of Austin. If you have never seen his work, check out his website Stuck in Customs. He does some pretty amazing HDR work.

Anyway... The picture below was taken at my buddy's sister's horse barn. There was a large runoff pond in the center of the horse paddocks between the stables. All the lilac was attracting a ton of bees and butterflies and it was easy to just walk up to any random flower and snap away as they feasted on all the nectar. I stopped this little guy in action landing on one of the flowers.
