ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

Pastel Painting of a Bumble Bee that regularly visited my garden in late fall of 2020. A friend, Bailey, taught me how to pet Bumblebees. Bumblebees are not aggressive and do not mind an occasional 'touch' from a human as long as it does not stop them from their workload. This Bumble Bee was a really big bee and it intimidated me. But Bailey gently rubbed this Bumblebee's back as it tasted the fall flowers in my garden.
