Caroline Stargatt, Little Fella (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

On a farm in South Australia, a Thistle bush was allowed to grow and prosper, luring multitudes of bees to their bright purple flowers. Standing amongst the thistles and bees, they almost posed for me. I have never been stung by a bee and they left me alone this day, allowing me to get up close and photograph them collecting their precious pollen.
