Sublime and beautiful nature

This is an entry for Beautiful Sunday By Hive account@ace108, and Sublime Sunday, created by Hive account@c0ff33a, and for this week I am going back to nature with some shots of flowers and such taken on walks here and there, not to many flowers out at the moment with winter still holding on but spring is just around the corner and then I will be getting new shots and enjoying it as the temperatures warm up :)

And for a change this and future posts won't be focused on the same subject that has been mentioned in many posts up to and including yesterday which I am sure many of you were getting tired of hearing about LOL

Starting with just a few leaves on a sunny day.

These shots were taken in a mix of walks around NYC and Milford CT, these next tulips were on a flower planter on or just off 42nd Street

And this next one along with the first were taken in Milford near one of the beaches I think and were taken with the old Russian Helios 44-2 lens which gives a nice bokeh effect tot he background in nice light.
This shot is not a flower but to many a weed, its the flower of a thistle

And finishing off with this last shot of not just a flower but also a bee busying doing what bees do and collecting honey and pollinating plants, again taken with the Helios 44-2 vintage lens
