Hi Luggers,

We haven't cut the grass yet at the cabin and the lawn, such as it is, is 
covered in daisies.

The bees are very busy harvesting pollen from the daisies:

And a more standard view:

The bee photos are taken with the Nikon D700 and the Leica R 100 APO f2.8 
Elmarit.
This combo requires some fast work - focusing wide open and then closing the 
aperture to gain
a bit of depth of field. All shots are handheld.

Please view large and enjoy. C&C always welcome.

Howard
