Flittin' & Buzzin' (Why girls are butterflies and boys are bees)

I was sitting at my kitchen table, uploading my final captures for Project Yellow, when these two guys decided to interrupt.

You can tell she's a girl because she gracefully and patiently waited for me to complete our photography session.  Almost 90 pictures later, I'm stunned by her delicate beauty.

Then this fella horned in on the action.
He couldn't be bothered with an extended photo shoot;
he lasted all of two pictures.
Still...I'm equally astounded by his allure.

Right about now, I'm thanking God for His unmatched imagination in creation, and...for my Nikon D-40.  That I could capture these creatures in flight
and produce this almost SOOC?
How can I be wordless even if it IS Wednesday?  ;)

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME! My Wordless Wednesday isn't nature this week, but I have a LOT of spring photos on my blog over the last week or so. I'm having a blast.

Those pictures are amazing, that you can actually see the fuzz on that bee or hornet or whatever he is. Wow, I am in awe...

[Andrée]

first of all: these are stunning. Makes me quadrupally mad at my @#$R% car that it stole my $1000 camera money I saved forever for.

I have photographed thousands of bumble bees (and this does not quite look like one but it does . . . ) and I have never seen green eyes! That's so cool!

[Diana]

Gorgeous!! Happy WW!

[pamela]
