Eat At Joe's

Seems like this cone flower's the place to bee!

(FYI: It's a Red-tailed Bumble Bee and an Augochlora Green Metallic Bee sharing the pollen here.)

Really pretty and the bee (wow!)

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Geertje K.]

Wow, both in one picture, and both in focus! this is amazing timing! Stunning!

[Rich Hubbard]

Excellent shot.

[Andrew Billinghurst]

WOW amazing capture loving the detail :-)

[Cindy Ford]

Wonderful shot Ann! You sure know your bees!

[Crickle]

Amazing! Love that you got both bees!

@geertje @rhubbard @andybill @cdford @shellbelle Thank you all! I was totally surprised when I uploaded this because when I took the photo all I saw was the Bumble bee. And I must confess, I looked up the official names in The Audobon Society's Field Guide to North American Insects and Spiders.

@crickle1969 Thanks Crickle- I didn't realize I had both of them in the picture until I uploaded it!

[Rick Schies]

They picked a perfect spot for a working lunch

@digitalrn Ha ha- thanks Rick!

[Allison Williams]

What an amzing capture. There is a 3D feeling as the green bee hovers like mad, waiting his turn. Excellent job.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@allie912 Thanks Allison! I was amazed when I saw it the first time and realized there was a second bee in the picture.

[Abigail]

@abigailmarie10 Thank you Abigail!

[alia_801]

Cool processing - definitely feels 3D. Nice detail :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@alia_801 Thanks Alia- but there's really no processing on this other than the addition of the frame. And it SOOC from a point and shoot!

[alia_801]

Wow! Amazing that you can get such a 3D feel from a P&S SOOC! Just stunning!

[bkb in the city]

great capture

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@alia_801 I must confess I didn't like this camera all that much when I started 365. I felt limited by it, but I've been learning a lot about it and now I understand how it works, so I'm getting better and better shots. It really goes to show that that saying is true- it's not the camera but how you use it. Thanks again!
@bkbinthecity Thanks bkb! I appreciate you faithful comments!!

[Mrs. Smith]
