I heard them buzzing last week and caught a glimpse of them flitting around the early blooms but it was warm enough to sit outside today and I managed to snap this fine bumble bee, I don't usually photograph anything other than landscapes or anything faster moving than a tree growing so am more than happy with this image.

Love all the pollen on the bee's legs.

Four thumbs up! Fantastic detail, nicely framed.
No signs of spring here though. Sigh ...
-
Thanks Bill so do I. Ken

Thanks Fred. The framing is just cropping. I am definitely not good enough to get them sharp and well framed. As for Spring we have had a couple of freezing nights and cold rain with a biting wind so Winter hasn't entirely departed. Ken

I'm a cropping agnostic. Cropping to get the right look is just fine by me.
