May-B Yes; May-B No

Lots of problems with this picture but probably the only shot I'll ever get of a bee that was fascinated with my camera- most fly in the opposite direction unless they are busy collecting pollen. Not this fellow though! He really wanted to get up close and personal with the shiny lens. The bright sun made seeing any image in my viewfinder impossible. And without some sort of fill flash, he appears as more of a silhouette than a close-up bee shot. But, it is what it is, and I'll just have to "bee" happy with that.

Awesome

I had to get a bee, none are busy here too cold!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Oh, I have "been there, done that" with the sun so bright you cannot see to get the pic. There is something really right with this shot, as well. It captures the feel of a hot SUMMER day (even though it is not) and has a whimsical feel to it.

Good one!

@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@httpgeffed lol Colleen- I like your B better than my bee.
@espyetta Thanks MaryBeth- I know you know about this- you are the Bug Queen! I don't mind the silhouette too much but I do wish there was a little more blue sky around him.
@fullcircle Thank you Cindy!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Great capture. Great POV,

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@daisy Thank you Kathryn!

[summerfield]

bee that as it may :-) it is still a nice photo. love that blue sky. why i chose not to post my blue sky flower shot is beyond me.

[Rick Schies]

Well you captured him, and that is all that counts.

[Sally Ings]

Bee in action! Not the easiest insect to get a nice picture of as they are seldom still!

[Henri Russell]

Great silhouette of the bee. It's not like they know they are supposed to show up today for photographs. They are certainly avoiding me today.

[Dione Giorgio]

Cool shot. They are very difficult to capture.

[Bev]

If that were me, I'd be running in the opposite direction of the bee, not trying to take its photo! Great job, Ann! Love the way the suns rays shoot out from the corner.

Thanks to all you bee-u-tiful people for such kind words- they were as sweet as honey to me!

[Vickie Posey]

Hey he's in the shot and I like it Ill give you a Bee + :-)

[PamSnaps1]

This reminds me of a quote, "in a world where you can be anything, Bee yourself! :) coudn't resist some fun on this one. Wonder why this bee was attracted to the camera, perhaps it thought it was a cool new sort of flower?

@vposey @potsbypam

Thank you Pam! I thought it might be the sun glare- but who knows?!
