just for you Robin

Just a picture today.  No need for words…

OK, but just a few.

A while back I was challenged (by Robin) to capture an image of a bee in flight.  I did, and posted that image.  You can see it here.

I was never really all that happy with the image, mainly because the bee was flying out of the frame, so I decided to repeat the feat but better my last effort.  It's not simple though. Guessing where the little blighter is going to be and when he or she is going to be there is quite tricky.  And I prefer not to rely on the "spray and pray" method of my camera's high speed shutter so these shots are few and far between.

Actually that's quite a lot of words.  Sorry.  Here's the picture...
