Flying red ant getting some encouragement from a worker - ok I'm going

My little yellow rose is at it again. For more than 20 years it covers itself in beautiful little blooms that last for ages. Rain last night has left water droplets still hanging on.

I was playing with macro photography one day... and this one came out.

(Photo taken on the outdoors). My Macro/Micro World

Data: Canon 40D, f/8, 1/60, ISO: 100, Lens: reversed 28mm Canon FD, Magnification 2:1, Mode: Manual, Support: none, Flash: built-in @ 1/4 power, Remote: no, Process: Canon Digital Photo Professional, file: 120908EOS 40D0725, Date: September 8, 2012.

The sad part is we are loosing our bees in the world slowly.

Mutated?
