Description

Hah! I've been trying to capture a bee in flight for over a year. Yesterday was my lucky day. Not only did I get one, I got several! This one was the best, as it is composed nicely and the bee is covered in pollen... which I think is why I was able to get him... He was moving much slower (it seemed) than usual and I was able to track him and compose the shot. Bzzzzzzzzzz Definitely worth a full-size view to see him covered in pollen :) I am still looking at yesterday's upload, "~Helical", and can't believe that one is mine :0) I guess yesterday was my lucky photo day! Thanks for stopping by, viewing and taking the time to comment. Much appreciation! Have a super-duper Sunday~ Hugs, ~Melinda~

Superb beyond belief, Ilona! Absolutely outstanding in the world of freeze frame. Terrific composition in this macro of the bee hovering above the yet unnamed blossom!
