Once again, it’s Macro Monday!

These shots were from two weeks ago, after a small amount of snow had fallen.  The early pollinators were out doing their thing, though they didn’t have a lot to choose from yet.  This little friend kindly held still long enough for me to get a good shot.

Gear: Nikon Z7 II, Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR Macro
