I had a few moments this morning and have been watching the bees attack and empty my bird feeders the past few days...It is really annoying as they literally throw all the bird seed on the ground, wasteful if you ask me! I am thinking they are after the cracked corn...I wanted to see if I could get any decent photos of them, without getting stung!
I so wish the focus on the eyes would have been better...but love that upper wing and it also gives you an idea of just how much bird seed they've thrown on the ground too, ugh!!
Finally a focused eye...he is hugging a piece of seed.
Then the little hummer flew in to feed at the feeder and I thought well lets see what I can do with the Macro...I thought it was a pretty sweet shot of his head...I know there is some noise but I couldn't get real close to him so I had to crop the photo a bit, I love the little tufts of feathers around his eye. I am still stunned that the hummer is still here...This morning the temperature was 26 degrees F., pretty darn cold if you ask me....

I am always in awe of your macro shots and these are no different! Absolutely amazing - I can't believe how fluffly those bees look!
These are indeed amazing shots. So, did you get stung? You don't say so we'll asume not...this time!
At 26 F I am also amazed that the hummer is still there. I know when we lived in Canada it was a good idea to quit feeding the hummers by mid August so that they would leave, otherwise they would freeze to death. Not a pleasnat thought.
For the first time in Asia we are feeling cold this week..it has gone down to 74 F at night so we're actually using a blanket. It's amazing how our bodies get climatized. Most of my life I would have thought 74 was too hot to sleep!
I love looking at your photos!
HI Wendy,

Beautiful work. The detail of the bees is fantastic. Glad you didn't get stung...maybe it was too cold for them to care.
Your photos are always truly amazing! It takes so much patience to take the kind of pics you do.....I think I'll stick with my scenery shots!! :)
