Yesterday while the sun was going down I went for a little recon walk to see if I could find any native Bees setting down for the night. I had a patch of grassy area that has not been mowed in some time in mind.

 

 

I found these 3 Australian Native Bees from the Lipotriches genus. It was still quite warm but I knew that if I did not interfere I had a good chance of getting a cool image in the morning.

 

This morning it was still fairly warm but it worked out well for this image with the one on the right waking but not ready to take flight.

 

 

I hope you enjoy veiwing as much as I did creating this image.

 

This image was entered into the 10th international 35 Awards Photography competition and went better than I ever imagined. It made the top 100 in the category macro and to top this it was also in the peoples choice selection. I am very proud.

 

This image is on the CUPOTY 7 shortlist
