(154,149 posts)1. And I'm in, with a photo that I was lucky to get!
I was photographing the roses at the farmer's market when I spotted the bee. It was moving around so I hurried to capture the shot.
I was amazed to have gotten it.

And it’s gorgeous. Very poignant as well.

If not, I will not do it. Thank you.

This is just a placeholder. I may change it later. Also, it may be too big. I'll double check the size later.
I may swap it out for this one.

Both this photo here, and the one you entered, are wonderful. Beautifully exposed, framed and so on.
Either one would work as an entry.
You've got an embarrassment of riches!
