I have been feeling a little left out of the summer phenomenon of gardeners posting awesome pictures of bees on their blogs! I love reading about and seeing these amazing little creatures working away in their world of flowers and pollen. I have been really lazy about getting out in the garden with my macro lens to capture some pictures until the other day when I spotted this huge fellow, covered in pollen, scouring a sage plant outside the dining room window. He was kind enough to stay until I got a good picture. Now I am happy. But the birds... I need bird pictures!

Fantastic shot -I know what you mean about capturing wildlife in the garden!
ReplyDeleteI've been stalking bees lately too. The bumbles are fun to photograph, if only because they don't zip around as fast the honeybees! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great shot, Sheila. I can see some pollen on its back.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photography. You can actually see the pollen on him. I have been after butterfly's and bees and no luck yet.
ReplyDeleteSheila, This great photo was worth waiting for! Critters just don't always stay around long enough for me, either. Pam
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a shot worth waiting for, just lovely.

Beautiful bee shot! I've not taken nearly enough bird and butterfly shots this year myself.
ReplyDeleteSweet little bee, and a wonderful shot of him working hard!
