For the lack of a more creative title, I present to you some pictures I took of a bee gathering pollen from a bunch of flowers at my parents’ garden.
I think that the above is the best picture I snapped of this critter. Do you agree?
I love how serene the bee looked in this shot. It’s like she’s taking a rest. The fact is that the little fella stayed in this position for mere seconds.
Playing with the colours a bit to get a more dreamy feel.
I think the flower stole the focus of this picture from the bee.
Showing some bee booty!
That’s it for now. I got some pics from Malaysia Flora Fest. Maybe I’ll upload them later in the week.
As always, comments and critique always welcome

Bro,
What type of camera are u using? DSLR ke or ordinary digi cam? Kalau dapat fokus lagi dekat tentu lagi ngam efek makronye tu.

Nabil: I’m using a Sony α200 DSLR. Would love to get a closer focus, but this is the max that my current lens can focus.

WOW!!!!!! Yummy and beautiful pictures! It somehow reminds me of the word “Bee Pollen”.
Love your work! So much better than mine!

papajoneh: Thanks Joneh! But I think the purple flowers aren’t suitable for your Mrs. They’re way too small! Get some beautiful roses for her instead
Will upload more pictures when I have spare flickr bandwidth.
…or if there’s someone generous enough to give me a Flickr Pro account (unlimited uploads).
