Little Bee by Leanne Lindsay
While photographing flora at the Auburn Botanic Gardens recently, I captured this image of a bee on a vibrant white & yellow blossom. I just had to capture the bee’s plush body and pollen-laden legs. However, upon closer inspection, I discovered a peculiarity – the bee possessed only one antenna. This anomaly piqued my curiosity. Could this singular antenna impede the bee’s flight or disrupt its daily routine? This singular characteristic instilled in me a newfound appreciation for this determined bee. The Auburn Botanic Gardens remain a sanctuary for me, brimming with diverse plant life and a kaleidoscope of blooming flowers – an ideal setting for macro photography endeavors.

Born in Adelaide in 1962, Leanne Lindsay’s family moved to Sydney when she was 12 years old. She was gifted her first camera for her 21st birthday but a break-in saw her precious camera stolen just 3 years later. It was only in her late 50s she was able to afford to replace it and now in her 60s she has discovered a passion that was sadly lost many years ago. She now photographs families and newborns but enjoys architectural photography and landscapes in particular.
