I haven't posted a bee shot for a few days, so here it is lol. I took this in my FIL's garden when we called in on the way home from Forster, so it is technically part of my little holiday. #349 on Explore 27th February, 2008.
A 1942 Boeing A75N1(PT17) flying right over me. This was at the airport in Jennings, LA. I was passing through Jennings and saw about 10 planes of this era flying around. There is an air show coming up in Lafayette...maybe these guys are in it and were practicing for it.
sure it's an image that I conjured up in my mind, perhaps it's a little E. A. Poe'ish. A foreboding and looming water tower with a turkey buzzard circling about looking for something dead to consume. I stand there quiet and motionless, hoping that it can sense that I am a living being and not a up righted cadaver ripe for picking. As time went on, more of these graceful (but god ugly) birds soared high and low, circling this tower looking for prey. I felt as if I were the featured entrée on their dinner menu. Bored with such slow service, they gathered their feathers and flew away, passing up, (I don't mind saying) one very fine meal. Their loss. As this one last feathered guest circled the table, I snapped my trigger finger. Check please, oh... and one of those mints too!

…Can’t you see I’m buzzy! 🐝
Photo taken at Grosmont train station in Yorkshire. We were waiting for the steam train which was delayed, so I whipped out my camera to do some macro of the beautiful flowers on the platform. This little guy wasn’t happy with me interrupting him at work 😅

Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, ten days before my sixth birthday. It was a big deal, and hit me at a very impressionable age, ensuring a lifelong interest in space. This famous shot of Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon was taken by Neil Armstrong, the only other person on the moon at the time.

A Bumble Bee flies to its next feed of nectar on Viper's bugloss.
There were many Bumble Bees feeding all day long in the flowers. Unfortunately I couldn't identify the species of Bumble Bee but I loved watching and tried MANY times to capture an image of them in flight.
The real challenge was that they took off by flying backwards and up so most shots were out of focus. I also couldn't predict where they might land. I am quite pleased with this shot though.
