photo of the week - oct 24, 2018

It's possible I'll never get tired of photographing bees (and I hope you never get tired of seeing my photographs of bees!). They're definitely one of the trickier animals to photograph, as they are tiny and don't stay still for long, but that's part of the fun, and actually adds to the excitement when I finally get a shot that I love. In this case, if you look closely, this little bee even has their tongue out. Typical bee, goofing off for the camera before getting back to work.

"The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee...gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own."
-Leonardo da Vinci
