I was sitting on the patio this afternoon, and saw this bee hanging around a bush. I hope it comes back when the bush has some flowers on it. LOL. Thanks for the views and comments.

Jim, You did a great job on capturing the movement here. Not an easy shot and you pulled it off. I like the way the wings look. I hope he comes back too and maybe some more shots.

You have got a real sharp focus on this guy, Jimbob. I don't know how you managed that while he is in the air. Great job!

Great shot indeed!! I can't even get one when they are still let alone on the fly. Keeping this, so I can buzz in on it later. Thanks.

I am glad to hear he didn't think you were a blooming idiot and try some pollination. Just Kidding of course. Great capture and a good start on the "Birds and Bees." Good work JimboB.
