Solitaire

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 24 August 2007 in Animal & Insect.

I spent a few minutes following this solitaire bee as she made her nectar round all by herself, one flower after the next. Isn't it amazing how the bee goes out without the a cohort and does her little part on her own in an attempt to contribute to the colony? maybe there is a lesson we all can learn from the bee.

It's not as sharp as I wanted it to be, so now I am going to buy the macro lens. Thank you for all the wonderful comments and the welcome back!

Hi! Nice shot, too bad it's a little blurry. I would recommend you to get an extension tube before you go for the real deal macro lens. I just bought an extension tube and the Canon EF/1.4 50 mm, with that I can shoot absolutely stunning macro shots, and it cost me about 1/10 of what a macro lens would have. Something to consider..?

Anyway, I like your work.

Yours words do make you think, maybe we could learn something from them. It's amazing that even animals have work ethics. Are some of them lazy or do they all work hard? Makes you wonder....
