6/3/06 - Poppy & Bee

This image is a little busy, but since the bee flew into the shot I decided to go with it. Today was a challenge with 25 mph wind gusts.
This was the third and final Saturday to the poppy field at sunrise. About 3/4 of the flowers are spent; by next weekend (when I'm on my way for 2 weeks of nature photography at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park) they'll be mostly done.
My wife asked what I'd find new to do today - "You've done macros, wideangles, from the top, from the bottom, from the side, shoot throughs, soft arty DOF extremes. What's left to do with those poppies?" and, you know, she's right.

Nikon D70s
1/100s f/4.0 at 105.0mm full exif

Another simply lovely image. But I have something new for you to do with poppies :) Not for everyone I guess but I'm having fun with the poppies in my gardenhttp://www.pbase.com/callieian/image/61235846
You can never take too many pictures of flowers IMO, especially when they turn out like this.
