Our salvia and butterfly bushes are in full bloom. And that means these guys are pretty happy. I tried and tried last year to capture the perfect in-flight bee photo and kept coming up short. So far this year I have only had slightly better results. Here are my latest attempts. Getting
that shot is on my summer bucket list.
What's on your summer bucket list this year?

ReplyDeleteInsects are so difficult to get good shots of. The middle one is cool with the color reflecting through the wings. My bucket list includes not losing my sanity. Just kidding :)
ReplyDeleteNot too shabby Melissa! Love these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great goal! I will have to try it myself!
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance, stop by my blog and "Like" Hood Photography on Facebook! Thanks!
Gorgeous shots, Melissa! If there is one insect I really love to capture, it's bees... and especially on purple flowers.
ReplyDeleteGood pictures, the life of a bee can be simple but short.

That last shot is great!! How cool that you captured him mid-flight! I love his little shadow on the leaves. Oh, and I did hop over to circle of moms and voted!! Congratulations on your nomination!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty:)
ReplyDeleteIt is tricky to catch one in flight. I think these are very nice shots. I like the first one where the bee is hanging off the plant.
ReplyDeleteThey are tricky...but what a fun subject to have on a summer bucket list. Enjoy!!!
