From my front door 35 steps N, 6 steps W, 6 steps SSE and I was jammed into this Diosma bush and surrounded by a cloud of native bees (non-stingers) which hover and flit about very fast, alighting on flowers only briefly before taking off again. This one stayed still long enough to be photographed.

| They may not be stinging bees but I wouldn't want to anger one of them. Love the shallow depth of field. |

| You are a brave soul to get close to a bee, so you deserve one extra point just for that. lol Pretty flowers. Your composition is well executed. I like the way my eye is first on the flowers but then follows those flowers right down to the bee. Good work. |
