It was almost 10 months ago when I took my wife for a drive up Farmington Canyon. It's a steep climb up the side of a mountain with lots of switch backs. Last year I posted a photo of the road here. At one of the corners with a pull off I noticed some large beautiful thistles that I wanted to get some macro shots of. Just as I was getting ready the largest bumble bee I could remember ever seeing flew in and started to gather pollen. What luck. He was there and gone in about 4 seconds.
This was taken with my Panasonic point and shoot camera, before I had a DSLR. This year I plan to cover some of the same territory only with my DSLR. I have learned so much since then I'm pretty excited about getting there again.
Don't be shy - leave a comment or email me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Scott,this is a buzzing good picture.
How fun - looks like a really big thistle, too!
That's one big boy bee! Nice shot.
Great Macro, Scott:)
Lovely capture.
Hello Scott again, Thank you for visiting my blog and thank you for you comment :) This was a awsome macro photo. It is so great to see those little bees in such prospective :)

Your statement "I plan to cover some of the same territory only with my DSLR" is exactly what I hope to do.
Beautiful!
Wow! This bee is something to buzzzz about. Seriously.
This shot goes to prove that it's not the camera but the photographer behind the lens that makes the shot. Beauty!
Good morning Scott. Thank you for your comment on my blog. Yes I think I make pictures. LOl.I see you changed your blog. I like it this way , now I know I just have to look at the first picture and scroll down. I have been scrolling down and saw beautiful pictures. Thank you.
Hi there you, what a wonderful shot, I have one that looks just alike (only I had more time to take it because I found a lazy bee).
And it seems were are on the same page here pinks and bee's.

Crisp, clear, fab shot. Thanks for your encouraging comments on my entry to MyWorld, I just started this hobby and your comment makes me more excited about photography.
