Flight of the Bumblebee by

Here’s one of those lucky captures i occasionally get when out with my camera..

This shot was a really quick snap as a bee flew in… i snapped off 3 frames and it was gone… I really didn’t think i had any chance of any shot working out and at the time, didn’t even bother looking at the shots on my camera and carried on in searching for other things to photograph… It wasn’t until i eventually downloaded the shots to my PC that to my amazement i’d managed to get one of these random ‘no chance but it’s digital so why not try anyway shots’.

Not only did i manage to get the blue-banded bee in flight, and flower, but there was a little lynx spider on the flower! It was a nice suprise..

Gotta love when that happens..

    A great capture Gethin…and I think a bit more skill involved than you’re giving yourself credit for :) It’s a wonderful image!
