Bee

I spotted this little bee in my garden hiding behind a single blade of grass. I didn't have my macro lens on the camera and I didn't want to go back indoors and get it in case the bee flew off. I had to make do with my 40-150mm, therefore this is a huge crop and a bit noisy.

A beautiful macro, Keith!
I'd be glad of the result.if I were you... no time to get your macro lens, the bee would have flown away!
I like the details and the colours of this photo, but especially the bee captured as an acrobat, as Jean - Paul said!

Thank you so much for these kind comments Güni......I'm pleased you like this one. I was very lucky to get it I think! It's not very often you get a bee posing perfectly like this one!

Enjoy the rest of the day my friend. Best wishes, Keith ;-)

Another fine macro from you Keith. Considering its a huge crop the noise level is very acceptable here. Well worth getting it before it flew. Well done.

Best Wishes. Herb
