For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone! Looks like it will be another nice day today and I am looking forward to that and a nice cup of coffee now, with a nice walk later. I have shown this photo before, though I am not sure exactly when. But, I really enjoy this one, so I am showing it again.

After all, how often does a bumble bee cooperate by looking at the camera with a smile on its face and waving at me! I am sure you can see what I mean in the photo. Have a wonderful day everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Amazing closeup. Your camera is blessed with a highly useful zoom. Thank you Steve.

Thank you so much Richard! But I did not use a zoom for that pic. I like to sit among the flowers and just wait for the bees to come close enough. I do get stung at times, but as the saying goes, no pain no pictures.ππΊπ·π

Steve, you are bold and patient photographer.

Perhaps patient, but bold, no.π€π· Though it is necessary not to show fear when sitting with bees!
