Sun is back out after a few days of horrible weather. Bumble bees were busy collecting their pollen this morning

Here is one just about taking off

D800e
Nikkor 200-500 at 500mm
f7.1
1/1250
ISO 800

Cropped and rotated slightly for composition and selective sharpened plant and bee. Slight surface blur to BG

Good sign of Spring Shane(I hope!)
The Ashodel s always remind me of Spain too,
Happy days in the Pecos.
Cheers
John

Thanks John

The weather has been great and we havent had a winter as such so we will accept a few grim days from now until march

Good thing is the raptor migration has officially started so lots of photo opportunities coming

Nicely exposed and focused, the only problem from my point of view is that the bee is flying away from the camera otherwise excellent.

Beautiful capture! You got him doing what he does -- no way to control where he was going. Wonderful detail in the whites and I like that the contrast is lower toward the bottom of the frame.
