I felt the need to keep fresh, so I busted out side into the garden and patiently waited for these buzzing Orchid bees to show up on the native Porterweed plant. It was tricky, but was able to get off a few shots with the Sony a6000, f/5.6, 16-50mm kit lens, 26mm extension rings, 1/250sec, ISO 100. This flower is about the size of a dime. The wind was very light, helping with the shot!
