Nothing spectacular, just caught them in flight a few times while following them around.

Hi Dusty,

I like the second best where you captured a sharp body and an almost perfect semi-circle of motion blur of the wings. :D

Thanks for sharing,

The second one is great, both the bee and the flower. You can "see" the texture of the flower.

John, That was my Quantaray 70-300 Macro. It's a rebadged Tammy, and I think it does a good job.

I'll say, but then so does the photographer!
