MSW, he was kind of an accident when I was out doing something else
Ann, thanks, no, actually I was trying for a decent close up of the goldenrod and he just happened by...
Lisa, thank you! I was taking pics of the house for Beck because she is homesick
June, thank you for such kind words. It was pretty accidental. I was trying to get decent pics of a huge mass of goldenrod, which is something I have never managed to do. For some reason it always loses its color in a photo...so I stopped for a macro and the bee flew in
Thanks, Dani!
Colleen, thanks so much
Sara, thank you
NW, I didn't even see the little one until you pointed it out! And thanks
Joated, thanks, it could be. We didn't do so hot this year...only one second, but it is always fun to try
Excellent macros as always. Off topic but have you noticed that they don't seem as fuzzy all over like they used to back in the day? Or is the pollen just clouding my trifocals again?
Steve, thanks for your kind words....and yeah, I believe that you are correct and that it is because we aren't seeing many real honey bees any more. Because of the die off a lot of other bees and wasps are filling their niche. I am only seeing one or two honey bees a summer now...and I miss them.
wow check out that bee! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, did you have to wait a long time and follow the bee around before you got the perfect photo? The colour is great too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I loved your staircase from yesterday's blog! They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love these. I love the clarity of both of them, the glossiness of the bee, the perfect happy happy yellow color...
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Great shots ThreeC!
ReplyDeleteSo very cool! Great shot of the bee.
ReplyDeleteAwesome bee!
ReplyDeleteAnd a baby bee, too?
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and clarity. I, too, love the staircase from yesterday.
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThat bee could be next year's fair entry.
Nice macro, good job. Bees are popular today. :)
