Still learning which lens to use

This picture was taken with a Cannon 50mm lens on a cloudy day in my back yard. I was taken this year by the lack of bees since I have many different flowers around. When I saw the bumble bee enter into the Rose of Sharon bud I just had to try to get the pic, it was a rush shot but then again it was fun watching the bee roll around getting covered in pollen. I really enjoying learning to better myself in taking photo's.

Yes the town is a great town to live in, been here for 41years and still fine it amazing along the water front. I have many animals that come an feed at my bird feeder, that's what keeps me getting up early to make sure they have food and fresh water.
