This was taken about 2 feet from my front door. This tree just bloomed yesterday, so I was outside taking some macro pictures of the flowers, and I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. You realize your a photographer when you see and recognize the most massive scary looking bee you've ever seen and instead of freaking out and running away, you take one step back, zoom all the way in, and take 200 pictures. That's just what I did :) 194 to be exact. This was the closest I dared to get (it was probably about 3 feet away from the tip of my lens) It's zoomed in all the way, and cropped to about 50% of its original size. I like that he's fuzzy :D

A few things.
first, is this not day 116? or did you just skip a day?
second, this picture is stunning. the color, and the bee, and the blurriness of the background... it's all perfect.
third, i think it's cute that you like how the bee is fuzzy :)
fourth, i'm loving how you're putting in links to stuff that pertains to your pictures. it makes things all that more interesting.
Absolutely Beatuiful. Beautiful flowers, beautiful colors, beautiful bee. :) He is fuzzy though. lol I think this is my new favorite picture that you have taken.
im pretty sure this is one of your best... its all pretty and peaceful and flowery and bee-esque... me gusta depth of field
awww fuzzy bee!!!
i think that bee should be spelled bea. when i rule the world, i will make sure that happens.
but anyway steve this is really a super picture. i dont really know what else to say, since well i dont know all the terms. i cant say something smart like "i like the huge difference outtake from the saturation, and the contrast between the deep capithal pink and the bee's intricate design of masterness."
if i could. i would.
Steve! I love it! The flowers are absolutly breathtaking and the bumblebee is so cute! :D This picture is by far one of your best! :D
That fuzzy little bee with wings spread out as he visits that gorgeous flower -- nicely captured. What kind of plant is that? Reminds me of "cherry" blossoms in Washington DC during the Springtime!
