Photo Art Friday is "the bees knees"

This week Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photo Art suggested the Photo Art Friday theme to feature a macro photo.  I chose two photos taken last June In Ogunquit, ME.  The flowers are located in a garden at the start of the Marginal Way, a gorgeous trail situated along the rocky shore of the Atlantic coastline. 

The phrase "the bee's knees" (meaning the height of excellence) became popular in the U.S. in the 1920's along with the "cat's pajamas".  For all you young'uns out there.  And speaking of young'uns I had to explain "The Bump" to my kids the other day...remember that dance???

Ok, back to Photo Art Friday..  I cropped and edited these photo's and then placed Bonnie's textures on top.    (Thank you Bonnie)











      
Happy Friday to all and thank you for reading my post ♥

    These ARE the bee's knees Phyllis! I especially like the second. I've walked along the Marginal Way so many times - such an amazing path. Perhaps we have passed each other there at some time?!? Thank you for sharing your art work with PAF.

    Both are lovely images - it's hard to capture bees and have them in focus! A little suggestion for you .... next time try erasing at reduced opacity around just the bees so they're a little sharper and more the focal point. If you erase at 100% then there's TOO much difference, but removing a little of the texture helps emphasize the focal point. Terrie#13 commenter

    Got a little "bee" in your "bee knees" pics. Lovely gifts from my back door. You've made them even more wonderful in the processing.
    A little scary hearing the Bump had to be explained. That means I'm getting old. Funny how that happens. have a great weekend Phyllis.
