as we go towards summer, it seems strange you're leaving it!
Lovely macro - sooo hard to catch these things in flight!
You know you need to come back to Kaikoura!!!

@Adiemus: Oh, you don't know how much I'd love to get back down there!! But I don't see it happening again for a long time if at all... which breaks my heart. Thanks so much for visiting Bronnie!!! Love to see your name here... you've really been doing some incredible work. Those posts of your daughter were so amazing!!

You did an amazing thing getting that shot. I am constantly impressed by what people shoot.

@Michael Rawluk: Yeah, I get that, Michael!! I, too, am constantly amazed by the talent on Am3. We've all got it!! Truth to tell Michael, I didn't think this shot was all that good. I had been sitting on my patio with wine glass and camera in hand... Thanks so much for all your encouragement.. ya know?!!!

@Mandy: Wait 'till tomorrow's post... it's not as good as this one but the translucence of the bee is incredible (picture's just not that good). Thanks so much for your visit and comment!!!
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Top work, the colour and light is so captured in your image and chosen title. You did an amazing job capturing the bee in flight, a wonderful image.

Very cool shot! Is so hard to capture these little guys, and you did a great job of it!

@Kim: You're right it is difficult.. but I was sitting on my patio with wine glass and camera in hand; Hmmm, maybe that's the trick!! LOL Many many thanks!!

@Sandrine: Thank you Sandrine!! The lighting was really the only thing I liked about this shot.. that's why I waited so long to post it. ;-)

Amir from Iran
Wow, you have captured the amazing moment. It should have been hard

@Amir: It wasn't easy... but I did have a glass of wine at hand while I was clicking away!! LOL Thank you so much Amir!!!
Roberta from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
Excellent shot Amy. Why'd you wait so long to post it?!
17 Oct 2007 2:17pm
@Roberta: Truthfully? Because the only think I like about it is the light. The rest I'm so iffy about but needed something to post and... well, you know. So with all the amazing comments I've been getting on this one, it makes me think I'm too hard on myself (as usual).
Paulo Santos from Peso da Régua, Portugal
WOW! Interesting capture! Nice backlight!
17 Oct 2007 2:29pm
@Paulo Santos: Thank you Paulo!! Really appreciate your enthusiasm ;-)
Lost Valley View from Kamloops, Canada
Ohhhh I love this!!! Coming in for a landing! How hard was it to capture this?
17 Oct 2007 3:21pm
@Lost Valley View: Not too difficult, really!! 'Course I have been claiming that the glass of wine I had at hand may have been a little bit more helpful than I thought. Thank you so so much LV!!
yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece
Very nice image Amy - You must waiting a lot for the bee I think
17 Oct 2007 3:31pm
@yiannis krikis: Wasn't so bad yiannis... I had a nice glass of wine at hand! LOL Thanks so much!! Love your post today!!
Reza from Montreal, Canada
Oh Amy, I wish you could get closer to get more detil of this little bee. But for this shot a little more cropping may works and could get the attention to the bee.
17 Oct 2007 3:53pm
@Reza: Thank you so much Reza for those thoughts!! You may be right about the cropping.. will have to go play with it. ;-)
Rabbit from Richmond, United States
This does have a nice memory look with the haze you have captured here. Lovely composition with the bee.
17 Oct 2007 6:04pm
@Rabbit: Thank you so much lovely Rabbit!!!
Behrooz from Tehran, Iran
The contrast and light is phenomenal, Amy. A touching shot for the name and story behind, made by the process.
17 Oct 2007 6:56pm
@Behrooz: You really are too kind Behrooz!! But I'll still accept it and revel in it!!
Helen from Melbourne, Australia
Just beautiful with the misty afternoon light. This is a bee photo with a difference! Funny, I was working on posting a bee when I spotted this.
