Thanks, Carole … in the days of film a lot of exposures would have been wasted to get just this one little shot! Love digital.

Thanks, Ruth! So pleased there was one crisp shot in the many blurred ones … he was definitely a moving target.

Great capture, Cheryl. So detailed, even to the blur of the wings. And what a great angle. I know how difficult these shots are to get! I like the soft focus of the background, which highlights the subject.

Thanks Allyson … the contortions getting the shot without falling into the lake were worth it!

It’s hard enough getting a good busy-bee shot, but I love that you got the ‘angle’ you wanted! Superb. The story for me is the soft focus of the background… as in if we don’t smarten ourselves up that’ll be us/nature fading into the mist…

Couldn’t believe my luck in this shot, Carin … and just the wing is blurred from balancing at the end of that spray of wild blueberry blossoms. I love his fat, little hairless belly exposed … so vulnerable!

Beautiful and timely shot Cheryl – with so much concern about the bees disappearing this such a reminder of their beauty and our need for them. Well caught.

Thank you, Allison. It is terrifying to think what will happen to human kind if bees disappear!

What a terrific shot — not only that, I can HEAR it. And smell it. What a treat.

Thanks, Barbara. His head, particularly the proboscis and eyes, was the shot I wanted. Most bee shots seem to be from above so when he crawled over the end of the limb of buds and hung there, I held the shutter button down!

That’s a beauty. I referred to my Bumble Bee identification card I picked up at the Botanical Wildflower show in Markham, to see if I could ID it for you. But I need to see the top of the yellow back to be sure. But because the bee has a lot of black around his bottom half, it’s likely a Brown-Belted Bumble Bee. More useless information to toss out with the next round of grey cells.
