"O bees, sweet bees !"

I love bugs ! They are small and interesting living creatures that are part of the eco-system. I’ve never learned about entomology but have knowledge about insects.I watched a bee dancing on top of a golden and purple flowers near my window yesterday and they are really beautiful !  I haven't looked too much at my photos from the day yet, but here are a few...

Underexposed For Detail. Close-ups such as this photo of a bee on a purple wild flower are even easier with a high end lense. I'm just using the old fashion way to get this image - the telephoto and reverse lense.

Exploring the macro bokeh, anyone? Although the "bokeh" is poor, I still love the pix ! ( Bokeh in Japanese mean dizziness.In photography is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of an image.

This was the first time I'd seen actual bee working in pinkish purple flowers.

One of the famous quote say - The bee is more honored than other animals , not because she labors,but because she labors for others.
