Macro Monday - Bee on Portulaca
Some sort of little bee is visiting my portulaca. I can't place him although he may be a type of wasp. Either way he doesn't appear dangerous as long as I don't try to pick him up.
Very pretty shot! I have those all over my yard! Still haven't figured out what they are. I'm happy as long as they pollinate my veggies and don't sting me. :)
Thanks for explaining your setup. I think your non-detachable lens is a bit longer than my longest interchangeable. That's why you get such decent macro shots!
Excellent capture. How do you like that Canon? I have an SX 5is. It works pretty well for most situations, when I don't want to drag out the DSLR. I've considered upgrading to the SX 20 or the newer SX 30, but they're getting to be as big as a DSLR and that's unfortunate.
Good on you, having a great weekend. Love the wasp/bee shot but don't recognise the flower - not something we have in England (I don't think).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Flowers
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I'm glad that you didn't get stung.

ReplyDeleteYour zoom is quite powerful. Mine on go up to 200 with my zoom lens.
