Some of you may have noticed that I've been absent for a time - I hope to be able to get back on track now. I need to find a job that allows for some personal time! I purchased the Canon Xti in February and still have taken less than 50 shots with it!! I was finially able to get out for the first time with the throw in macro that came with the camera the other day and was fortunate enough to have this little guy cooperate with me. The lens appears to do a fair job but is very focus point specific. Note the wings are quite sharp but the body is in soft focus. The flower was about the size of a quarter and the bee - I believe it to be an orchard bee - was about a quarter of an inch in size. Anyhow, I liked the colors and the lighting so here we are. If you look closely at his/her back legs you can see all the pollen stored there for transport.
