Canon G3, Close-up Diopters
I don’t think summer could possibly be complete without at least one macro of a bee buzzing around a flower, spreading pollen as he goes. This guy was absolutely covered in pollen and more than willing to let me snap a few shots off.

I couldn’t decide which of these I liked more. I like them both, but for different reasons. On the second one, I really like the out of focus right half of the flower. Something about the softness of it really attracts me.
In completely unrelated news, I finally listed my site at photoblogs after ambib suggested it. I guess it really was about time. So hit it up and vote!
oustanding clarity, definition & detail here. The yellow just explodes, well done!!!
Hey Andy...so THAT'S where pollen comes from!!!
Very good.
Wow. Simply wonderful. :)

Marvellous pictures! It looks kind of itchy to be covered in that much pollen :-)
Thanks all for the kind words. I'll have to work on more macros now.
Whoa! Yellow!
