Fabulous shot Mary. Close up and personal. You could almost lose him in that sea of yellow flowers. Whatever you are doing it, keep doing. Your pictures are great.

A brilliant image; I love the colors of the bee and flowers, and how they blend together as one.

Hi Mary, I'm late.... little doggy is a bit under the weather and had to visit the vet, she seems ok though. Great close-up of the bee, it looks really mean from this angle.

What a feast of yellow and green! I admire your macros of insects, they must need a lot of patience! (My landscapes don't fly away:). Isn't it a bumble-bee BTW?
