    Bee in Flight

    I took this a couple of weeks ago. The bees were pretty active at the time, and I spent a half-hour or more crouched down trying to get a shot of one on a flower but no luck. Then the minute I stood up and started to move away, they were all around my legs. So I fired a few bursts and when I opened the files on the computer, I found this one shot with a bee in flight in the corner of the frame . So, this is a crop from a 100% zoom. My first BiF. C&C welcome. (Might be better viewed large in lytebox.)

    with or without intent , a great capture for your first bee in flight . amazing the speed of their wings and that of humming birds.
