Fat Bee attempts Small Flower.

Just couldn't resist this macro picture as it reminds me of my visit to the hospital a few weeks ago for a MRI scan. When I got there the radiologist took one look at me and said "I don't think your fit this machine, you should be in the sandwich style one".

Basically what he was saying was, your sandwich shaped not a doughnut shape. He did give it a go but it was like trying to squeezed this bee into a narrowing tube, needless to say they failed and I have to return to a different hospital.

Please note the bees wax on the back legs, best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.

This one gave me the shivers...cause I am allergic to bee stings. However it is a great capture. The colors of the flower and bee really pop. Loved your story about the MRI. Take heart, Heather, there are lots of us out here who need to be in a sandwich style machine. :))

@connie865 Thanks Connie, no fear of bees, but snakes are a different matter.

@philcameron59 Thanks Phil, I think that's why I needed an MRI scan, lost me sting somewhere.

Well I don't like either snakes or bees, although when my boys were young, they used to bring snakes home and let them slither around on the carpet. Thinking back...was I crazy??? :D
