Geranium and Bee

Geranium 'magnificum' and a bee. These fuzzy bees are slick around the garden...here, there and everywhere. Hopefully they have fun and are not always working.

Zeiss 100mm, 1/200s, f5.6, iso 200.

Ken:
The details on the flower and the bee's eye are exceptional. Nice color contrast between the critter and the flower. Well done. :toast:
