I haven’t been able to shoot much lately and decided to head out with the camera just to see if I remembered how to use it. I came found this pond that had some water lilies in it< but they were quite far away. I put on my 70-300mm lens with a 1.4 TC and waited for this bee to come back and stay in one position for just a little bit of time. I had to be careful and not jerk the camera as I was shooting handheld. It took a ccouple of rapid shots but I got the result I was looking for.

Beautiful Vince!
Nice image Vince — very sharp!
Beautiful image. I especially like the addition of the bee.
I hope all is well.
Great shot! I like the hint of wing and the cast shadow of the head and antennae.
