Although I often stalk egrets looking for interesting shots, this one was actually on the side of the road near my house this Saturday. I took the opportunity to get some close-ups from the comfort of my car. After several shots, I noticed a bee hovering around the bird. The bee kept buzzing the egret for at least 4 minutes. I got several keepers and can't decide which one I like best, so I thought I would share a few shots:

Crazy little bee! I hate bees. They're so annoying and disrespectful! They just buzz buzz buzz. And sting. Not good creatures for sure.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
