This carpenter bee was drowning in the pool this morning, so I rescued him. Wilbur was not impressed. He decided that I needed protecting from the ferocious black thing on the ground and would not leave my side...hence the shadow in the background.
Bee was not overly impressed with Wilbur and every time he moved; bee rared up like he was about to do battle or play football...which is the same thing some Sundays.
He was tough to photograph due to his color and the water glistening on him. I think you get a feel for his personality, though.
@Cherrill Thanks a lot! I agree about his look. I was a bit wary, to be honest, especially with Wilbur being so determined to guard me against him.
@maggiemae Thank you! The light was reflecting off of him all over the place. His wings were the most gorgeous iridescent purple-y blue color.
@joysabin Thank you very much! Wilbur thought so also.
@alia_801 Thank you very much. I also think it looks great on black.
