Bees & Flowers, Pretty In Their Time

Bees, Flowers, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn, New York City

This photo showing a bee alighting a summer flower, was captured during one of my weekly visits to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in Brooklyn, New York City. I make it a point to visit either the Brooklyn or New York Botanic Garden one afternoon a week. It is a reminder of the extraordinary design and engineering that fills the natural world. Yet, that design that feeds my heart and soul in a way that no human invention can. As I told a vendor outside of the garden, I leave the garden every week a renewed man.

This image was shot handheld with a Canon Rebel XS, and Canon 55-250mm lens. I used 400 ISO, and the IS (Image Stabilization) feature on the lens to insure that the shutter speed was fast enough to prevent blur.
