Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. A photo I took this morning in one of my gardens - this busy bee was loading up pollen for lunch at the hive. Canon 7D Mk 2, 100mm Macro lens, f/8, 1/4000, ISO 1250.

Congrats on the contest, Thad.

I got this close to a bee once, but I made too many spelling mistakes and only graded a cee on the paper. And I might have made some of the details up. :)

A great close up on the bee and daisy, Thad. Wonderful details, colours and lighting in the photo.
