Bees and Moths and Flowers, Oh My!

[Jman13]

I was on a business trip this week, to Dallas, TX. I had a few hours on Thursday to stop by the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Here are a couple of the better shots. All were taken with my Sigma 150 macro with flashgun and Lumiquest Softbox. Comments/Criticism welcome.

Those look great. I like #2 . It is as if the sharp cone flower hurt the bee's foot. Johnathan
