Day 23

After heavy rain and high winds yesterday, it was a gorgeous day today, and it was great to be able to get outside for a photo session.

The lens that came with the camera (a cheap 18 to 55 mm) doesn't too bad a job on this shot, but it's working at its limit here. It would have liked to have been able to get closer in on the bee and see more detail, particularly in its eyes, its wings, and the pollen pouch on its leg. A macro lens is still on my wishlist!
