Busy Bee
Caught this one few weeks ago. Hard to get them to slowdown for good shot.

Yeah, insects are tough. For every in focus shot of a bee or butterfly I've managed I've probably got 20 times that many that are garbage. In my experience, insects are particularly uncooperative when it comes to placing themselves in decent light with uncluttered backgrounds; you pretty much have to take what you can get.

This guy is loaded with pollen! Nice catch, Kendall.
