These images are exceptional and allow us to see interesting detail. I notice your control of foreground DoF. Thanks.

I took these photos of the bees who came on our deck to drink the nectar. I got this plant flowers of which attract the hummingbirds, butterflies and other insects. In most of the pictures, you can clearly see the bee tongue extended out to drink the nectar.

Beautiful shots! I enjoyed them all. Bees are my favorite insects, in that I can work alongside of them in the garden and not worry about getting stung. I just respect their space.
