On final approach. Taken in late April at the arboretum with a 100mm macro lens and ring flash. The strobe only synchs to 1/250 sec, so I can't freeze the wings in flight. Still, I thought it was a nice candid shot of a bee at work.

Thank you both. I really appreciate that.

Bees are fascinating & indispensable creatures that are also pretty photogenic. The blue pollen was an interesting variation from the usual yellow too.

Thank you. Thank you.

Of course this calls for double creds. Very sneaky, I approve.
