Excellent shot BE, I've never managed to get any patterning on bee eyes- maybe it's just the types we have over here- they are always nearly black eyed.

Great angle on that small (?) bee. I find it hard to go out and photograph with someone else, I want to go at my own pace. Well done, BE.

Thanks Dennis, I appreciate your kind words and I agree, I too like to set my own pace, but I also enjoy having my entire family involved in this hobby. so, I train and share and then I go on my walk about.
