"Nature Photography Day"

Too hot to do much of anything else, I decided to give this a try again for "Nature Photography Day".

The Bee was in flight - not just taking off or landing. The photography was deliberate - not merely a "lucky accident." I also proved to myself that I could repeat such a capture again...

There is some motion blur of the wings. But I don't see that as a negative

Not easy but so nicely done. The motion blur is quite appropriate. Great shot.

Very nice. I've been trying to catch this kind of shot and haven't succeeded yet. And I love the motion blur.
