These photos were taken late in the summer when the bees were really stepping up production. They were everywhere you looked and though I had set out to take some bird photographs, I tend to try for whatever is at hand. The light was perfect that morning, and when I saw the bee against the flower. I took some shots. Taken with my 300mm lens and teleconverter, a bit of a challenge at such close range. I was able to get more insect photos well into September because the early fall was nice and mild.

    I miss hearing the bees, buzzing through my garden. These are lovely reminders.

    Great Bumble bee shots! Bees have been around since the Cretaceous and are awesome insects! 🙂

    I’ve used that combination of optics too for close work on occasion, when I didn’t have time to change lenses, and it surely is a challenge. You’ve risen to it well here!

    It is so gray here, it is nice to see some summer color. Great shots!
