Honey Bee: Spring is Here

Oh thank you, Kelly. I had fun today shooting bees…eagles to bees…I bit of an adjustment, but almost the same is some ways. Macro requires a whole new set of skills. Take care, Kelly.

LOL, a comment from Florida! Yes, it is warming up…today was the first day I have seen bees…Many trees and bushes are in bud. Thank you so much, Donna.

Thank you, Beve. It won’t be long before you see them too.

I had a great time photographing bees today. What a symbol of spring they are! Your positiveness, Anthea, is such a treasure. Thank you.

Thank you, Jayne. Yes, promising for sure.

Thank you, Sylvia.

Thank you, Sal. To get a couple of good shots like this one I filled three 4 GB cards. My lens wouldn’t autofocus fast enough, so I was focussing manually. Many many shots were duds, but I had as much fun as I do shooting eagles. I really appreciate your comment, Sal.

Oh, you don’t want to know, Jesika. I look like such a geeky nerd, I’m sure. I am my own packhorse. Thank you, yesterday was a day of extremes in subject and technique.

Thank you, Marvin.

Oh thank you, Lorilee. This shoot was definitely a labor of love.

Thank you, Kirk.

I love this one too, Joni. I was able to isolate the subject with against an empty background. Thank you as always, and enjoy your Easter.

Thank you so much for commenting, Seductress. Love your handle!

Thank you so much, Daniel.

Holly, if you knew how many shots I took to get the two I uploaded to RB, you might think I was somewhat obsessive. I spent two full afternoons at a budding shrub honey bees were attracted to and shot hundreds and hundreds of shots, then spent countless hours evaluating them, before spending more time in processing my selections. Some people have suggested macro work is easy. What a fallacy. I am glad you like this one, Holly, because I have an attachment to it. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Bela.

Thank you for this wonderful comment….I very much appreciate it.

Thank you very much, Sass. I really appreciate your comment. I think this is one of my best pieces on RB, although it hasn’t achieved the recognition of others. Peace to you, too.

Thank you for the comment and advice, Sass. This one is uploaded to Birds and Creatures of Flight. I’ll take a look at the other two groups. And peace to you too.

That is good news. Thank you.

Oh thank you so very much. I am sorry I missed your comment 17 days ago when you made it. I am grateful!

Thank you, Ann. I really appreciate all your comments and faves.

Thank you, Gouzelka.
