January 12

Sugar Land, TX

This chubby bee flew in to my photo just as I clicked the shutter. His pollen sacs were full.
I hoped he would stop long enough for me to get a closeup shot, but he kept going. Probably needed
to off-load his cargo.

Sony DSLR-A700
1/100s f/5.6 at 60.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Gorgeous color and flowers. Love them against the monotone bokeh. The bee is a nice addition too. V.

That is some pretty good bokeh at f5.6! Lots of buds on that plant, beautiful capture, Lynn!

Thanks! NO selection, Stephanie. This photo is straight out of camera except resize.
