Luck favors the prepared photographer, too.

Your picture came out good.

Thanks Rik

I don't use the tripod much but I decided that I really needed to start using it more, since I am not too steady at times and I had the camera positioned and focused on the flower that the bees seemed to favor. I didn't see the little bee until I downloaded the photo.

lady luck did shine on you Ken...I hope I can be so lucky. Wonderful shot.

Thanks Doug.

I wish I had a little more room underneath the smaller bee but this was not a planned shot. The little guy was right at the bottom of the frame. But, I am happy with it.

Hi Ken

Nice shot! The little one must have been hovering looking at the sharpness of the body and comparing to the wings.

I was thinking that little one must have been coming in for a landing as it does not seem to be "on" anything. Nice one Ken.

Thanks Sue and Steve.

I had noticed these two vieing for place on the flower for sometime but never gave the two much thought. It was the bumble bee that I was concentrating on the most.
