    To bee or not to bee!

    It appears to me like the little guy (whatever he is), has stinger envy.

    I didn't see it at first. Out with the big boys.

    If you can get close to it without sneezing, the goldenrod flowers provide an abundance of insects with a beautiful background.

    Thanks Roger, smiling is good.

    As an FYI, I do not own a macro lens. This was shot with my 18-55 IS lens in Av.

    I love the goldenrod, despite it making my sinuses clog up Just covered with insects.

    Nice shots, Mike. I also especially like the first one.
