Zeroing in

It was nice to see so much greenery in Asir, even flowers! This was just a capture of a pretty tree I saw at a place we stopped. I wasn’t even aware the bee was there; had I known, I wouldn’t have stuck around ;-). I probably should have cloned him out as he’s totally out of focus, but I liked how he was so intent on his target.

I’m just posting pictures right now of nothing special, things I saw along the way, to give a feeling of what this part of the country is like. Certainly radically different from Riyadh!

the bee adds a certain buzz...just as well to document the views and the moments as you go...always shoot first and ask questions later..at least with a camera..

I'm glad you didn't clone the bee out. It may be out of focus, but I perceive it as fast motion. V

an interesting flower….I was just processing a pic with a pair of golden eagles doing a flyabout with rather poor focus, but we don't have to post only perfect pics do we?
