Lovely shot- a bee of some kind - some signs of camera or wind movement but lovely composition more than makes up for that.

HI Brian,

Yes, it was a bit breezy, and this flower was very delicate, and unprotected, so the slight breeze there was is magnified this close....I took about 12 pics of this guy, and this was the best...

Thanks for looking.
