Achoo

I was out walking around with my camera and new lens waiting for my daughter to show up and looking for something to photograph when I spotted this bumblebee coming out of this Rose of Sharon blossom. It was all covered with pollen which makes some people sneeze.
Great capture. He does look sort of like he had a bit of a pollen accident in there...I've never seen one so covered with the stuff.

@lynnb -Thank you very much Lynn! I got a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 2x extender. It's a hand full. I call it my baby because I cradle it in my arm like you carry a baby. It's better than carrying it around your neck.
