wren's blog: More Bees and a Wet Noise

Posted on Aug 28, 2011 6:05 PM

This morning I went out to run some test, trying to find the best settings for my close ups.

Before I get started I found a  bee that was just waking up.The pictures are not perfect but in them you can see parts of the bee that we normally do not see.

He was on a Milkweed but as there was a sight wind and the Milkweed was also the more for a wasp nest , it was not a good set up so I moved it. But you can see the feet and the head

He was happy to sit on my thumb as I took her picture.  I wish I could have put him  some where, it is not easy to hold the camera with one had and take pictures
