Busy Bee


Busy Bee

This time of year I am frequently walking around Chatham Gardens with my camera and sometimes I just aim and hold down the shutter button for 3 or 4 or even more sequential pictures. The result is often a bunch of pictures that are identical but sometimes a gem shows up that would not have happened any other way - at least not for me. With a fast shutter speed I captured this bee hovering near a favorite flower - the Catmint.

The Catmint also attracts Goldfinches but they are not as accommodating when I get this close with my camera. But I'll keep trying.
