The obliging bee

I had to wait forever for a bee to land somewhere that I could capture him, and finally this one obliged.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Even US senators have to practice social distancing, posted earlier:

1/640s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso640 full exif

Ah, so nice! The fly or whatever it is gives it life.

Lovely capture. V
The 300 PF seems quite versatile. Having superb image quality at a reduced weight must be nice.
