This female Sweat Bee looks like she's eating this flower's stamen, but she's really rust trying to anchor herself while she packs pollen onto her hind legs. Also looked like she was trying to strip pollen off with her mandibles.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (> 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on Kaiser adjustable flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: It was windy, so it was easy for me to grab onto the flower that the bee was in without spooking it. Once I had the flower's stem in my left index finger and thumb I I rested the lens on that same hand and waited until I could get an angle that would make the most out of the shallow depth at almost 3x. Lots and lots of frames...

This unit was used to collect commercial recycling by Waste Management of Wheeling for a number of years before being replaced more recently by a Peterbilt/McNeilus rear loader powered by Compressed Natural Gas.
Note the pollen stuffed into hairy receptacles on the hind legs.
A bee can carry about half her weight in pollen. This was taken in the center of a calla lily.
What is this? A successful self portrait of myself? THIS NEVER HAPPENS!
I was sitting inside when I noticed the gorgeous light coming from the window, so I decided to run outside and get a few photos before the sun went down. Unfortunately my grandma lives right beside the highway... and it was rush hour.... and people were probably looking at me thinking I was a freak. OH WELL. Today was successful.

“Perhaps middle-age is, or should be, a period of shedding shells; the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, the shell of the ego” (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
For my dear friend, Birgit, whose friendship has inspired me to shed a few shells.

Not quite sure what this guy is going to do with these containers of seawater but made a good shot. Wish I had had time to switch lenses and get a closer view.
Bloody Aliens never clean up after themselves, and who has to collect their garbage? Bloody ole Ben who never did nothing wrong but accidentally crashing his spaceship. Never tole that old meteorite to be in the same place!
On a side note: That bag of tiny liquorice has been waiting for about two months to be opened and being used as a prop for some Lego scene. Inspiration did not come easy on them.

The honey bees at Longwood Gardens seemed to be work with exceptional urgency in order to collect nectar and pollen before the onset of winter.
