A happy bee

This bee was in his element, working hard on the blossoms
of the spirea shrub. He was, however, a nightmare to photograph.
All of the goodies a bee requires were on the surface of the blossom,
and he zipped around with great rapidity filling his pollen sac.

I've spent enough time trying to get these guys in almost exactly the same circumstances to say, very well done.

Now if we could only stuff the fluffy material into a quilt for our cold winter nights (without the bee), wouldn't that be nice.

Oh, I like the soft fuzziness of the flowers and the bee!
