When I get the urge to take some photos and don’t have much time, I like to walk over to a neighbor’s house and take photos of the bees that are usually buzzing around the lavender plants there.
A little over a week ago, I did a posting that had a super close-up shot of a bee. Today’s shot was taken from farther away and has the blurry background that I really like, with the bee still in pretty sharp focus in the foreground. I like the way that the image shows the way the lavender droops a little from the weight of the bee and I also like the the second stalk of lavender standing tall in the mid-range area of the shot.
It’s a pretty simple composition, but the result is a pleasing image of a bee happily at work.

Those are good observations about the photo. Looks like you and the bee are pleased.
Lovely photos, thanks for sharing! John
Thanks, John. It’s a fun challenge to shoot a small moving subject like a bee.
I like it!
