...and I need to wear my climbing helmet on a simple walk with camera. A week ago Sunday at the end of our trail walk I tripped onto concrete. I have learned to fall and roll, mostly, but did land on my head a bit too hard.
Thus, while taking it slower this week, I'll post this from 29 May, 2018. The date shown on the exif data is wrong. The new camera needed a tiny new battery for the date.
I hope you take care if you're looking up or at birds or bees or composing a landscape photo while walking. Only the lens cap and my head chipped a bit, and we can't replace the head.
This sleepy bumblebee was in the middle of the path in Regent's Park on a cloudy, cold morning. It was in danger of being accidentally crushed as people walked along, so my lovely daughter rescued it to the grass by the path using a sycamore seed! (She is kind, but not brave enough to touch a bee!)
This bee was harvesting the pollen from the flowers. I had the 100mm macro, which doesn't have as much reach as the 200, so I had to get much closer for these shots. Fortunately, honeybees aren't too distracted by us humans.
I took this while hanging over the railing on my deck. I planted lots of speedwell two years ago, when I saw that rabbits weren't eating it, and that it was popular with pollinators.
The little bees were flying in a large swarm around the Isopogon sp flowers to collect pollen. Notice the pollen presenters are different colours. The yellow ones have pollen, the orange none! It helps the bees to choose where to get their food.
In one of the photos you can see 5 bees flying, 7 in another.
Most likely Isopogon crithmifolius

Autumn always seems to present the best opportunities to photograph bees on flowers. At this time of the year, the colors are so vibrant. On this day we saw bees, monarch and buckeye butterflies along with an occasional hummingbird. It is a great time of the year.
Bee's are fascinating me at the moment, there are so many different types and all heavily laden with different coloured pollen hanging form their legs. Not an easy task to capture but these tend to linger a fraction longer for a shot !
Well into the dreary part of fall now, so this shot is a colourful memory of a summer that lasted will into September...
Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Yongnuo YN-560 III flash. Towards infinity on the lens. Reds are a bit off the chart on this one...

Went to Royal Hampton Court Flower show, took my Nikon 105mm f2.8 G AF-S VR IF ED Micro Nikkor Lens, just right for the job.
I have a dedicated macro lens, but I almost never use it because the tg-2 is just so much more fun and practical. I don't know the species here, so any help would be welcome. Bee, Olympia, Washington.
I've been bouncing around of late in regard to my photographic interests. Birds, sunsets, macro, landscapes, and more. Truth be told, I am in a bit of a creative lull at the moment. Decided to do some macro work today, and here is a bee buzzing around a clover flower. Not sure what that thing is on its leg, although my wife said it is honey? Best viewed (L) for full detail.
Thanks for all the faves, comments, and views. Much appreciated~!
Photographing Bee is a big challenge in photography.
I found this bee on the pink dahlia, my 1st impression is that this bee either sick or tire hiding in the petal that without pollens. then I attempt to move it. A soon as I use the stick to move this Bee, It began to move.
Then I found that the bee eyes are with pollens instead of the legs. I think this bee must be wounded otherwise the eyes would not be having pollens.
I am happy that at least I save one life. & This is a great shot.
Thanks for your view, comments & fave.
I appreciate it.
