Bumblebee making beeline flight straight for Foxglove flowers (Digitalis Purpurea) in Bellevue Botanical Garden in Bellevue, Washington, USA.
This little bee was looking a little exhausted on top of a fence post. I wished I'd had some sugar water with me, but hopefully the flowers nearby were enough. 💛
I celebrated my birthday on a mountain top with the snow ghosts where the only tree ornaments were the hardy Canada grey jays and the ravens. If I had my way I'd still be up there, but I had to beeline it home to put on a feast for Christmas. It was just what I needed... I feel rejuvenated.
Merry Christmas!

Hi there,
Last summer, one of my goals was to try and capture a bee in-flight with my macro lens. This is one of my bizillion attempts.
Thank you for taking the time to look and for leaving me a comment! Have an amazing day!

If you are a Sony user and you are thinking that you might like the new 'FE 70-200mm Macro G OSS II lens' ... your thinking is spot on IMHO. If anyone is in search of a 'Sony FE 90mm f2.8 macro lens' - mine is now for sale. ☺

A "beeline" means the most direct, quickest route between two points, often used in the phrase "make a beeline for," meaning to go straight and quickly to something or someone, driven by purpose or desire, like bees flying straight home. It implies speed and a lack of deviation, even if the actual path isn't perfectly straight due to obstacles.
Key Meanings
Direct Route: A straight line or path, like a bee returning to its hive.
Hasty Movement: Going quickly and purposefully towards a goal or person.
Examples in Use
"When the buffet opened, everyone made a beeline for the dessert table".
"After the meeting, she made a beeline for the exit".
Origin
The term comes from the observation that bees fly directly and without hesitation back to their hive after finding nectar, taking the shortest path home, even if they zig-zag around obstacles, notes Mental Floss.

Beeline 3AY on final 24 as the last sunrays hit Eastern Greece, 7:25pm. Third encounter with this beauty in Rhodes, and always a thrill!
Despite the forecast the sun was out for much of the day between MacTier and Parry Sound, ON. There was little southbound traffic in the area after CP114 went through, but I hung around town and passed the time shopping until the CP112 appeared on the radar. I was happy to see the fresh paint and made a beeline to this site for the intercept. Thankfully it was late in the afternoon and the CN northbound trains were at the crossover, which caused enough of a delay for me to get down to the lake.
I have to say *thank goodness* for the fresh paint on some of these CP locomotives! Having something bright to contrast against the darker backgrounds makes a big difference, in my opinion. It's not much fun when there's an eyesore in the picture and it's the lead locomotive.

I heard a 7400 was heading up late in the day too!

I’m a storm chaser through and through…that’s just what I do. I have a hard time going anywhere and just waiting for something good to happen. I’ve wanted to do a few trips this year, one mainly to a spot on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, just to camp for a few days and get some epic shots.
But it’s not in me to do that. I love the chase. The unknown. What will I end up with tonight?
This photo is a prime example of that. It’s nothing earth-shattering, but what it shows you is that beauty can be found anywhere, even though you don’t expect it.
This was from July 6th of this year. I saw a big line of storms moving in off the White Mountains and thought I might get in front of them right when it got dark and could destroy some lightning shots over the hills. But as it neared me, the storms started dying, the lightning wasn’t coming my way.
As I sat there bumming, this glow slowly appeared in the sky…and I wasn’t expecting it. The clouds were so thick everywhere, I had no idea the sun could possibly make it all this way.
But then the clouds ignited and I couldn’t believe the color. It was intense.
Sunsets are weird in a way. It’s like you know a storm is great because there is wind and thunder and rain, and you can “feel” it. A sunset though…it’s like something so amazing and powerful, but it’s utterly silent. You look up and see an explosion of color, but there are no trumpets playing, no orchestra…just quiet.
Makes it all the better.

Hohenzollern Castle, the ancestral seat of the family dynasty, is situated at the periphery of the Swabian Alb.
Last but not least, it is also its extraordinary location which already prompted Emperor William II to proclaim “The panorama from the Hohenzollern Castle is truly worth a journey”.

I finally got serious about photographing bees in flight.
I took my Nikon D500 and 70-300mm + 36mm extension tube and mounted it on a tripod.
Positioned the lens on the center plane of the flower and waited for a bee to enter that space.
Camera Settings:
F:16, 1/4,000 second, ISO 1400 @135mm (with 36mm extension tube)
Settings were locked in, no anti-vibration with focus locked and above camera settings.
....what I would change next time is securing the flower so that the wind does not move the flower AND consider using a higher shutter speed - 5,000 to 8,000 in order to "see" the wings. Slight blur makes more sense to me.
