Description
The last bee deviation for this summer. Nevertheless, one more opportunity to share some lines from Emily:"To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, --
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few."
from Emily Dickinson

Oh, a bee-shot! And a lovely one too!
Great colors and focus!

Hey, thank you for liking this one. Luck was the key factor. I only noticed after the shot that the light on a stair of my pool had created a "halo" for the bee!

I have noticed that when you are shooting anything lucky is the key factor. At least for me, I am still learning.

Yes, it is often luck that matters most. Here's an example [link] I had intended to capture a bee visiting my salvia, when I heard a whirring noise and my viewfinder went dark. I snapped the picture, looked up, and thought I saw a bird fly away. The picture you will see with this link is the lucky result. It made me wonder how many times a hummingbird had ever been captured with a macro lens! So...good luck!

i really like the background colour .

There was a bit of luck in the background color; the early morning light was reflecting from one step in my swimming pool; that reflection just happened to be behind the bee. And thanks for noticing!

Great image!!

Thanks Bill, and please don't put your camera or photos away. I was in Berrien Springs a couple of weeks ago, but had no chance to call you. Next time.... I'm in New Zealand today; headed to Australia soon. Fiji was great last week. More deviations on there way, I'll bet.

man, this would have been so much better with a higher shutter speed!
good capture anyway
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're exactly right. I thought the same thing. I kept it anyway because I like the colors. But some time I'll hope for that faster shutter speed!

Perfect words for the photograph!
...but...this is the last bee for the summer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, you know, like the "last rose of summer." There are no minimal bees; I have to find another subject!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha...ok, and I'm looking for something other than sunflowers.
I'm pretty sure after your trip you'll have found something other than bees to photograph.
When do you come back?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I leave in about a week and come back at the end of August. That time period will include the places already mentioned plus Colorado, southern Utah, and the Banff area of Alberta. So...I'd better have something other than bees!

Beautiful contrast between the bee and the lighted background... Could that be your pool too??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You guessed it: the pool again. This time it was rather early morning, and the sun had just gotten to the flowers and one odd shaped part of the steps on the pool; the bee just happened to be in front of that lighted section. And thanks for the comment, dT. (Up late, up early; do you need little sleep?)

Oh that's right you are coming to Australia. By any chance will you be coming to Perth at all?
If you are that is great because I live in Perth. Would be nice to meet you and if you want I could show you around a bit where you might get some nice photos.
take care
Michael

Hi Michael, I'd like to come to Perth. I've never seen the west side of Australia. But, as usual, I'll just be working in the Sydney area. I'll be back next summer, and maybe that will lead to a trip to the west. Meanwhile, take good care of Perth so that it will be in good shape when I finally get there!
