WC #353 Frustration...nature is represented here!!!!

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted October 12, 2008327 views9 comments
This bee must have been over imbibing on the Passion Flower blossoms earlier, or else it was just the end of a long day. I could not believe it when I saw the bee on the ceramic flower. What frustration it must have felt, like the frustration I am feeling right now (as I am supposed to be studying formulas as in EXCEL 2007) :confused: I know, the bee is not really sharp... more frustration :frown:

Think of how frustrated that frog must feel--being ceramic and all :biggrin:

Hey, Barbara, the Bee may not be as sharp as you would like but the frog's mouth is! If that Bee is not careful, he'll become the ceramic frog's dinner :jump:

If you have an Excel question, drop me a line. Once upon a time, I taught Excel classes.

Are you sure the emotion isn't annoyance....at the bait-n-switch scam going on here? Definitely a unique situation, Barbara. Glad you had your camera handy!

I’m sure the bee is frustrated but you should not be with this image. It is a comical image you were lucky to catch.

Barbara,
Glad you posted this. No need to feel frustrated (at least about the photo) the humor comes across without the need for technical perfection.

"I know, the bee is not really sharp... more frustration" -- but what a picture! From the thumbnail I thought "frustration" was about the representation of nature, and then the large image displayed, and I couldn't believe it either! The composition is just right, too. :smile:

Well, that's really something! Perhaps the Bee needs an eye exam? or something… Good shot! Congrats on the Pick.

Evidently bees don't have depth perception. I think this is hilarious and deserves the EP for that alone. Thanks for sharing this... it made my day.
