Did you ever notice how bumble bees are a lot like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep on going? They have a mission in life to pollinate and then go after it. Wish my body could keep up that pace but alas the age thing is taking its toll. I’m posting this image because it was taken with the new Nikon 35mm f1.8 lens. I got as close as I could get with the lens then I’ve done a major crop in Lightroom 2, tweaked levels and a bit of saturation then sharpened. That’s it. I think the lens performs well, especially for a $200 price tag. It’s a keeper and the lens stays on the camera most of the time. It’s a lot lighter to carry around, another one of those age things.

Great shot, my mother is terrified of them, I keep reminding her of your opening comment, and trying to convince her they don't give a dam if she is there or not, there simply looking for the next flower.
