Backyard flower photos

I just went out and took some photos in our backyard - we have wildflowers growing, since we haven't had time to "groom" the flower beds and lawn yet (and there's no point in doing so with the winter frosts coming in the next several weeks).

Ever since the bee sting at the beach, I'm utterly terrified of anything that flies and has a stinger. So I got some great macro flower close-ups, but then I saw a bee across the yard and jumped up to leave...then figured I could try out my camera's zoom. So the bee photos are taken from across the yard, with manual focus settings. Still turned out pretty good!

All of these photos are untouched/unedited (for now; I'm actually toying with them in a photography program I just got for my Mac!), and all the colors are real, though enhanced by the camera itself in a function called "TrueColor Fix" - which simply means the camera will pick up foliage colors and other vibrant colors in nature instead of dimming or fading them like regular photography will do.

Whatchoo think?
