A good peppering of pollen is nothing to be sneezed at!!! This is a super shot - Julie loves zinnias too.

Oh yes, just watch this insatiable glutton go to work on that delicious pistil, as so expertly displayed in this top notch macro, Andrea. Is that a tiny padlock up at the top of the pistil?

I look like that by the end of my workday too, covered in all kinds of spots and speckles and wrinkled to boot! I don't have this lovely fur coat, though. Fantastic capture!

There is pollen everywhere and not where the saddlebags should be. I love this photo Andrea and a lovely zoom!

Zinnias do so well here, it's amazing to me that you haven't had them before. Such a huge bang for the buck, aren't they? Gorgeous things, and endlessly varied. Love the little pollen grains!!
