Another photo from the meadow, when we had such a lovely summer. Hours of fun spent crawling around on hands and knees, capturing bees going about their business!

The Monardas (Bee balms) at the park were losing their petals and dying; this one was the better one.

Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋‍♀️

Thank you for your visit !

Using a close-focus wide-angle lens, I was nearly touching the bee when I snagged this frame. Luckily, it was one of the big docile bumble bees who was happy to let me spy on them.

The fish-eye lens makes it feel like we were standing back from the flower, but if this were a normal lens, it would be obvious this is a macro shot.

Caught in a sudden heavy rain storm, these bee's will grip on to flower or leaf with their powerful jaws till long after the danger has past!

The Bee working hard in the sunshine. Seen in Bronte Creek Provincial Park, Oakvile, Ontario.

a white fronted bee eater (merops albicollis).

this kind of bee eater con be found in south africa all the year around.it's a lovely bird and in some areas quite common.

in photography the hardest part is in this case to get the details of the white front.the whites are very easy to be "fired" especially in canon.take care on exposure!
