Going Green
Uploaded: September 19, 2009
Looking at my gallery, I seem to have an obsession with green things! Maybe I should shoot a bowl of green M&Ms next...
Thought little guy hung around just long enough for me to get one shot.

Thanks for those incredible comments Patrick, Juri, Annie, & Renata!(Photography is teaching me some great multi-tasking...remove lens cap while gently dropping to one knee while turning on the camera and quickly checking WB & ISO and going straight to aim & shoot!) #7956024

Thank you for the really nice comment, Eugenio! #7965288Susie Peek-Swint September 21, 2009
Great colours and detail Tess .. I'm not familiar with this green 'bug' ~ looks like some sort of wasp or worker bee? #7968026Tess L. Yee September 22, 2009
Thanks for the great comment, Susie! I believe it's a metallic green bee (Genus Agapostemon). If it isn't, well...it COULD be! #7969918Jim Baines October 04, 2009
Why not shoot the far side of the hill, Tess?? It's green .. green, they say! This is cute! Where does one find a metallic green bee? #8007661Tess L. Yee October 05, 2009
Thanks for the great comment, Jim! Apparently, metallic green bees are quite common, although I've only seen a few, myself. #8009519Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
