I've never met a more contented, contemplative bumblebee.
He sat there the whole time I was shooting, just kind of looking around and enjoying the dappled shade of his surroundings.
He's probably sitting there still.

I really can't blame him; it's a lovely August afternoon.
There was a sprinkling of rain this morning and the sun is drifting in and out of clouds. Rather a warm, dreamy quality to the air today.

No cropping or any post adjustment was necessary on this.

I also took a picture of him using the 717's 'Solarize' option. I really love this one as well: http://www.pbase.com/image/32382450
and one in 'Sepia' mode also: http://www.pbase.com/image/32382448
