I had to react in a split second (shutter time: 1/1000") to capture its 'happy landing'.
Hope you'll enjoy this image. Thank you in advance for your comment.

Good shot of the bumble bee's approach, Cornelius. I know how difficult it is to get a good clean shot with the flower in good focus. Well done!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Cornelius - It looks like this flower was not the bee's first stop, as it is covered with pollen. What a great capture of this mid-flight approach to the flower that is also crisply captured. Now, will tomorrow's photo be from the flower's perspective the the bee face on? lol Thad

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. - James Dent

He is up to his neck in pollen C and you captured it so superbly. It reminds me of a redneck after eating barbequed ribs. Looks like the landing gear has just been lowered. Another good shot and Mrs. C sure has a nice garden.
Good health to you and yours.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
What an outstanding photo. Look at all the tiny specks of pollen on that bee!!! And how often can anyone ever get a Bee on the move towards a flower like that?!! Magnificent. SOmething for you to be very proud of. I am saving it for when you are famous and I "knew you when"....heehee........Verena
