Unexpected

I haven't seen a honey bee since the weather turned cold. About the time I spotted this one, one of the cats did too. He swatted it and it flew away. If it had stung him, I wouldn't have been very sympathetic. He's lucky I saw it again. :0)

I've started carrying my P&S in my pocket, when I'm out taking pics. I was looking through my pics last week and I had forgotten how much I liked its macro setting.

I took my macro out yesterday and didn't see one bug. Asked my friend if we were still in Fl. :-) Great catch

Macro settings are the best :) (Well, unless you want a pic of something far away...). Lovely detail on the bee and flower in your shot :)

Couldn't believe this picture when I first saw it - January??? Mother Nature is sure mixed up. Great picture of im - glad you found it before the cat did!

Let's hope this is a sign of spring. Beautiful.

Yeah, this is awesome! Your other camera cold rock these shots! With you operating it of course! Haha is that red pollen or something? This is so great! Spring will be here soon. Fav

Beautiful capture. What a nice splash of color in the mid winter. Hopefully, spring and all of its wondrous colors will soon be here.
