Lovely lines β€οΈ
Aren’t the bumble bees difficult to capture so up close? They have this habit of leaving the flower suddenly and buzzing towards you, when you are so intent with focusing π and that buzzing sound near your ears is scary…
Thank you Deb! This is when it helps to have a long lens. I shoot with a 200mm lens. I planted these right outside my kitchen window. I took these shots through the window! Nor worries about getting buzzed!
You are so right there Dwight. Since buying the new mobile I have been super lazy and been using only the mobile for all photography, especially the macros. Few days back I tried something similar with the mobile – with near disastrous results. I need to shake off my laziness and pull out the camera kit.
Those are some beautiful photos you captured there.

It works very well! Bird feeder is also only three feet away from the window.

My flowers struggled this year for some reason from a series of worms and bug attacks. I have to reaccess what happened…maybe COVID-19??? π
