I was very fortunate to get this shot while he was still-relatively speaking that is:)I took several shots and this turned out the best as he was buzzing/flitting around doing what he does best- feasting and pollinating!! Used my macro setting and could barley see him in the LCD screen- couldn't get my eye on the viewfinder cup because I was surrounded with several bees and bumblebees and I didn't feel like leaning over into them at close range. Didn't feel like being a "target" that day:):) Enjoy:)

It is great to take shots: In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I’ll be blue ..............
I like the depth to this one BB.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

A nice sharp capture of this bumbling flier amidst the pretty blooms, Bruce. Good colours and details in the photo. I like the way the flowers slant across the photo.
