After venturing out to get my Senior Flu Shot and pick up a few things, 
I needed a few minutes to relax.? A thought occurred to me (yes, one 
does have thoughts after age 90).? Would the 2X extender combine with 
the Leica-R 60 mm Macro lens?? So I put the pieces together, put a fresh 
battery in the Fuji X-T2, and walked outside. (Although the X-T2 allows 
one to enter the focal length of manual lenses, I forgot to do it.? It 
still reports 500mm, not 120mm).

Insect activity has just about disappeared at my house except for a few 
butterflies that pass and wave, but don't touch down. I saw an orange 
one and a yellow one that teased me while I was out.? I finally spotted 
some Carpenter Bees.? It wasn't until I was looking at them on the 
screen that I realized I had another Eastern Carpenter Bee or 
"Green-Eyed Bee".
