Spyros clung desperately to the swirling leaf...

...cold and wet from the raging flood waters.

I rescued this bee from the pool this morning. He crawled up to the tippy top of the leaf so that I could take his photo, and so he could dry off.

Amazing macro! Poor wee bee - you will now be known as a bee whisperer!

Awesome capture.

Great shot!

Well he does look rather bedraggled. I hope the drying off process sorted him out. Excellent shot of your rescue mission.

Clever bee. They only live 5 weeks, so they need all the help they can get.
