This bee was about some serious bee work on the center of a purple cosmos flower. I don’t recall seeing this particular type of bee before – with white hair, orange antennae and a yellowish-green eye. However, this year I’ve photographed several.

Messy Hands


This is an image that dates back to 2006. This photo was the initial inspiration for my experimentation and reasonable success with macro photography.

My old camera, a Kodak Easyshare DX7590, did an exceptional job with macro shots.  When I saw what was possible – after taking this image – I started to major on the minors.  I can spend hours crouched down by a flower bed,  moving slowly, trying to be unnoticed while I position my camera as close as possible to any tiny creatures I can find.  I was just a few inches from this bee when I snapped this photo.

I love seeing the normally, unseen details of God’s creation. For instance, in this image, I am fascinated by the bee’s wings, the pollen on the flower and bee’s legs, that little dongle thing protruding from the bee’s head, it’s eyes and the orange tipped spears of the cone flower.

If you find this image appealing, please feel free to share it with friends.  (If you’re on Facebook, simply click one of the Facebook links below this story.)
