I was watching the bumblebees doing their thing this morning and got a little lucky with the timing on this one.

    That is a really nice capture. Was there a lot of patience involved, or was it one of those lucky shots where you were in the right place at the right right time?

    There was a little persistence involved. I took about 10 shots trying to catch the bee(s) in flight; either landing or taking off. This was the best of the bunch.

    Thanks for the comments.

    That is a neat image, can only image how patient you were to wait for this to happen. In the end, it came out great.

    It pays (in your case big time) to have a bit patience. Great capture.

    Thanks for sharing.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
