You guys know the rest :D

My warhorse/machinegun have been at the Docs.
The body came back before the lens and I was Jonesing for some MachineGunning :wink

I grabbed my little 28/105/sorta macro lens and chased these guys around for awhile :scratch :rofl :huh :ivar

    Nice job. I've tried photographing bees on flowers and I'm pretty lousy at it-- so good job even if you weren't using all your favorite equipment!

    Chasing bees around doesn't usually end up with happy results, but it sure did in this case... well done. Hope you get your lens back quickly.

    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!"

    Nice shots. I love flower/bee/butterfly shots. You really can't go wrong with them since all three subjects are very colorful. The bees and butterflies just move around too much.
