Strange title for sure, but I have an association with somebody screwing in a new light bulb in a lamp.

Taken yesterday, when spring arrived in the middle of winter, and I went out to the Noordwaard. The light was amazing, so another problem with too many nice shots and animal encounters (sea eagle, hare, kestrel, ducks like the smew, buzzards etc. etc.).

And bees everywhere.

I normally always forget to use my macro lens, but this time I was sensitized by the emerging macro's of snowdrops, so when I saw them I thought I could give it a try.

I found it rather frustrating to capture a bee on a snowdrop, because they are so fast and never sit still in the right place. So I was 'somewhat' surprised to see this one later when i was going through my images.

Taken with a industar 61 L/Z 50mm f2.8 macro from 1977 with extension tubes
