Wild Honeysuckle Ride

I watched this Carpenter Bee on the honeysuckle for awhile. He looked too heavy for the blooms. He fell off a couple of times. Obviously, it doesn't take much to entertain me. :0)

Thank you so much for stopping by my project! I'm having a hard time catching up with everyone's pics. I apologize if I haven't gotten to yours. :0)

LOL .... you are so much like me, Carolyn. I find this kind of thing so mesmerizing when looking through a lens. This is gorgeous ... color, clarity. All of it. Great capture.

Fantastic shot. Wonderful focus. I find nature so incredible, and the more time I'm spending on this project, the more I'm seeing and learning.

[Myrna O'Hara]

Well gosh a carpenter bee. Do they sting or just eat wood? Great capture you were very lucky he stuck around for so long.

[Caren]

Great shot! The bee looks like he's hanging on for dear life! :) I love the great focus you have on the bee.

@sailingmusic The females can be pesty. They drill holes in all types of wood to make cells for their eggs. They can make a mess of rafters and beams.

Amazingly clear details, looks like a macro shot but it isn't. From the Exif I see long lens tight aperture and quick shutter - there must have been lots of light ?? Still amazed !!

[Susan T]

Great shot, Carolyn! Great detail!

[Danette Thompson]

Very entertaining shot!

[Kerri]

[Kelly]

Awesome capture Carolyn, such great detail and so interesting to see - we don't have anything like these bees here!

[Milanie]

Another outstanding shot - The detail you get absolutely fascinates me - it's wonderful. Bees are the major living thing around here lately, too.

[John Guerin]

Free entertainment. You gotta love that!!! Great shot.

[Jo Ann Bellone]

Hey flowers, lizzards and bees are me entertainment. Love it

[Lyn]

These bees always worry me. . .possibly because they've taken up residence in my mailbox!?! Wonderful clarity here, Carolyn!

[Rick Schies]

LOL, did you giggle when he fell off? People may think photographers are a bit crazy, but hey, we can have fun, can't we?

[Junan Heath]

Fab capture of the carpenter bee. I like them so much better on the flowers rather than drilling holes in the eaves ;-)
