Busy as a Bee

Post by Joefnh »

Well It's a great weekend in the Northeast and I had a very nice visit with a friend...its such a treat when we can share a MC safe diet with others.

For today I went out front to my cherry tree and heard it buzzing like a chainsaw, there were literally thousands of bees doing their job. In watching them I only had one thought...I do hope all that pollen is GF :shock:

Here a few pictures that I thought I would share.

Sometimes it's good to just stop and smell the roses so to speak...

Absolutely gorgeous Joe. Today it is supposed to be 90 degrees. We had the buzzers this weekend too!

Love, Maggie

Nice Joe,

105mm or 60mm macro lens?

Regards,

Rich

Rich I was actually doing it all wrong.... I was using my 18-200 general purpose lens with a circular polarizer and I was about 4 feet away at F3.8...basically breaking all of the rules, but the shots came out pretty good...

Like our board philosopher says...."there is no right way or wrong way, just your way"....I guess that goes for photography as well. :grin:

I was just too lazy to go inside and change lenses etc..

Beautiful pics Joe. I don't understand much about photography, but I have been using my camera a lot lately to take pics of things I want to draw. Quicker to take the photo than to draw it.

Now my scan disk isn't working )-;

That 18-200 is a versatile lens... Near macro too. Nice work.
