Default A Lunch fit for a BEE!
Was out shooting birds and turtles with my Tanrom 200-500mm lens when I spotted this yellow flower. Just my luck it was targeted for lunch:

My goodness, these are so sharply focused I can hear the buzzing and smell the flower. Ah-mazing!

Very Nice Captures Kirbinster! All 3 are well focused and clear. Good job on the 3rd one, it's so hard to capture them in flight with any clarity for me.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
