A lone Verbena bonariensis stem rises vertically against a beautifully soft, diffused background. Atop the cluster of vibrant purple blossoms, a solitary bee is captured in sharp focus, diligently foraging for nectar. The striking contrast between the detailed textures of the insect and the smooth, painterly depth of the background highlights a quiet, natural moment of summer pollination.
I’ve been chasing bee shots for a while, and today it finally happened! 🐝
With JJ by my side on his retractable leash (tucked under my foot so he’d stay put), I locked my camera in and got ready. The bees were zipping left and right — I must have taken about 30 captures until one turned out just right.
Finally caught a bit of beeuty in flight — and I couldn’t be happier.
