Up close and personal
Bee closeup
With genuine warmth in the air, the early blooming flowers are filled with all manner of hymenopterans. I've spotted a few big queen bumblebees but, so far, they haven't stayed put long enough to photograph them. These bees, whose identity I don't know—my ignorance is a goad for future study—were more cooperative and gave me the chance to put my ancient macro lens to work. The 55mm micro Nikkor continues to dazzle and, praise be, my eyes continue to be able to focus the old lens. Here's looking at you, kid... leg hairs, pollen grains, wing veins, and all. The Iris isn't too shabby either.
