Bee on Flower
Here is a close-up of a bee on a flower. With the bees moving slower later in the summer, it makes it possible to get the closest pictures possible. A faster shutter speed helps to freeze the frame and retain sharpness. * click on picture
I believe what you got was a bee fly. Looks very much like a bee to prevent birds from eating it. The flower is sone sort of Helianthus, which I suppose could be called a "minor sunflower".
Hi Roger, Thanks for the comment. I am just figuring this Blog thing out tonight and noticed that there was a posting already....cool! You are my first post! Glad to hear that you figured out the details of this picture for me. - Pat.
This Blog was initially set-up to display pictures that I have (am) taking but it is evolving into diplaying other interest of mine including woodworking, photography and other odd-ball stuff. Enjoy the parts that interest you!
