It's the hundred-monkey-nexus!!! That's what it is!!!

Of course I'm assuming you're all aware of the results of a very famous experiment where they segregated and isolated a number of monkeys from a large tribe of a few thousand. When they taught about 100 of the monkeys in captivity a new behavior the monkeys in the wild started also mimicking the new behaviors - even though there was no contact of any kind between the two groups. This was repeated over and over with nearly 100% success rate. They found that teaching a smaller group of the captured monkey's had minimal or no affects. This phenomenon is referred to as "The one hundred monkey nexus".

That's quite interesting.

yea this thread is a waste of space and why did you post this if you didn't give a "sh*t". And your photo seems out of focus and the petals are over exposed.

Yeah, OP, this amusing little thread is chokin' up the intertubes! How dare you! :Joker:

"It's...It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

Dude. Sense of humor. Rent to own! :lmao:

That's too funny that the pic was that close to yours... looks like the same flower species and everything. What are the odds?

NIKON... IN YOUR LENZ... STEALIN' YER PITCHERS!

Cone flower and bumble bee... they are both exceedingly rare... there are prolly on about a billion of each in the US. Who would have thunk it?

Hey, not sure if you are really serious, but in case you are:
http://images.google.com/imgres?img...firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=GThere are lots of pictures like yours here: CLICK
Admittedly they are not all like yours but many are similar in subject and composition.
Two problems you face is common insect and common flower is going to mean there are lots of similar pictures on the web-unfortunately there are only a select amount of ways a bee can sit on a flower and be photographed.

PS exif data rocks.

Seriously though to the original poster-keep taking pictures and dont get dishartened (if you do over this thread) just enjoy taking your pictures, learning the camera and have fun.
