Two Rose chafers (Cetonia aurata) enjoy the flowers of Elderberry (Sambucus nigra). Me too! I made a delicious syrup with this flowers (not this on the photo, I let it for the beetles...).
It's very refreshing and good for health.

C'est très rafraichissant et bon pour la santé.

Hi Catherine. Your sigma has given you rich colours in this picture . I like your pov showing the blue sky behind the Elderberries.You have once again good detail in the olants and bugs. Just a little noise in the BG green or it may be my eyes. I have been looking at a computer all day at work . Its so windy here so its not worth going out with the camera tonight. Well done TFS.
Nick..

Hello Catherine,
In my neighbourhood now scent of the elderberry in the night smell very much. I like it. These chafers are also on it. Your photo is very good, POV and colours like to me.
Regards, Pawel

Hi Catherine,
A very beautiful composition, that shows lots of interesting things in sharp focus on a nicely blurred background. Colors, especially yellow tint of flowers captured well.

Some people make a kind of jam from flowers of dwarf elderberry here. I have not tasted it yet. TFS
