Description

Here you see a white tailed bumble bee on a cardoon (artichoke family) absolutely smothered on the copious amounts of pollen this flower was giving up. The bee was about to lift off hence the front leg hair looks like fur! This was taken yesterday and I am sure that zoom will be the best way to view.

Excellent! I should have looked like this, covered in my shopping, if I hadn't taken the car to the shops his week.

I like how sharp the flower is, and how just a little bit of motion blur on the bee gives you a sense of movement without being ... well ... blurry, if you know what I mean! :P It's a super image.
