Color photo. A black and yellow bumble bee. It is hanging upside down from a cluster of small yellow and orange flowers. Other clusters are visible to the left and right. There are many green leaves between and behind the flowers.

It’s spring, and the bumbles are out in force.

Wandered around the Bellevue Botanical Garden late in the day recently, enjoying the sun and seeing what I could point my macro lens at.  Lots of pollinators (and in some instances, polin-ant-ors) doing their thing.  Strands of spider web here and there, too, so you know they’re out there doing their thing.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon 105mm f2.8 Macro

Color photo. A long blade of tan colored grass grows into the frame from the middle left, towards the top. It gently curls down and then back, almost creating a circle. There are a few spiderwebs crossing the circle. Behind, out of focus, are other curls of grass. The background is a softly mottled green and yellow.
