A bee tends to a chive blossom

As far as nature photography goes, I've sequestered myself to my garden for a bit. I've taken hundreds of photos out there so far this season so everytime I walk out there now, I think "thats it, I've shot it all". The truth though is that I haven't shot anything yet. I've taken lots of pretty flower photos and I've nailed a few frames that I'm proud of, like this photo of a honey bee harvesting nectar from a chive blossom, but I feel that I've yet to produce something unlike anything you might see in any other talented garden photographer's portfolio.

So back to the garden I go. The longer I stare at its nooks and crannies, the more its beauty and mystery will be revealed to me...
