pumpkin pollinator
I agree that constraints help spur creativity. Today I ended up playing with a bunch of different subjects but came back to work on my bees. Again working close up with the 36mm extension tube on my 100mm macro lens. There was a bit of sunlight I was able to coax onto this large pumpkin blossom. The bees in this blossom were in like a drunken stupor and didn't move like the others I encountered. They were less inclined to move much which made it easier to work. I love the hairy details of the blossom and the balls of pollen on the bees legs.
Thanks for visiting, hope you aren't getting bored or grossed out by all of the bees. I'm a big fan of bees but not wasps, yellow jackets, earwigs, spiders, flies, or mice. Oh, and update on the mice, we did catch one in a trap. Feeling a bit better about life but just wish all the pests would stay outside and I wouldn't have to be bothered with them.
