My Turf!

While I was trying to get the perfect shot of these yellow flowers, a bee stung me in the arm: "My turf!" (Note to self: don't disturb the bees!)

wonderful POV and lighting ... I'm surprised you got stung. In all the years I've been taking pictures of flowers and bees, I've never been stung (thank goodness!).

[Heather]

@lynnz Thanks, Lynn. As for bees, I've never been stung before. either- not ever- but I guess I was at the wrong place at the wrong time :)

Great pov and light. Something has disturbed her since she stung you. Lucky you're not allergic.

Ouch! I bet that hurt. You managed to get a lovely photo though.

I wonder if it was a yellow jacket that stung you… bummer about that but you got a great shot with such nice light.

[Pyrrhula]

A great nice pov. and a beautiful lighting and capture. Fav.

[Ingrid]

Oh no! But you got a great shot here!

[Heather]

@kvphoto I don't know my bees, but I just googled yellow jackets. Yes, that was the culprit! Thanks so much!

Oh dear Heather, I hope the sting wasn’t too bad. It’s a great shot though, I hope you feel it was worth the pain. Fav.
