Buzz the Beaver, Winnipeg.
After going twenty-seven days on the road solo, and only a limited number of days with good conversations, I met Buzz at the Royal Canadian Mint. Buzz didn't talk all that much, but we hit it off right away, so he joined the trip. It was nice to share those long stretches of silence with somebody... or something...
I was shooting Bluebonnets on our land opposite this little guy when he buzzed by me. I turned around to get this shot quickly; at least, as quick as I could. I was shooting with my old Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 that is 100% manual (focus and exposure all manual). I love that lens just like I do my old Pentax lens - they are all metal, quality build, pleasing bokeh and very sharp when the focus is dialed in well. The bee flew off before I could zero in on the focus. When I switch systems I am not going to miss my new Nikon primes, nor the 70-200 but I will miss this old tank of a lens.

Ever seen a picture like this? How big is the chance to find a buzz saw hanging in front of a rainbow. It happened right in front of my window. (Sorry about the tree, but it shows you it's real)
