The Brown-eyed Susans are in full bloom and in spite of the winds this bee was determined to collect some nectar and so was I to get a shot of two of my favorite subjects.

What great detail, well done, and yes I am back after having to get a new computer as the mother board on the old one crashed

Terrific close-up Heather. Love the vivid colours and composition. So nice to see how the flower helps to provide food to the bee even though he was challenged by the wind. Nice shooting.

Thank you Yves, much appreciated. The wind was so gusty this little guy had trouble hanging on and getting a proper focus was a little tricky but it worked out okay in the end.
