(64) "Close Encounter" 5/20/10
With my prime 60mm on, I'm practically on top of this daisy when this bee just lands on the flower and starts walking around. I figured since I'm already focused and he doesn't seem to mind my lens being 3 inches from him, I'll risk life and limb (well maybe not) and keep shooting. He only stayed for a few seconds before taking off and bouncing off my forehead. Managed to grab the capture unscathed :)
Thanks to all for the great comments on the first part of "Adventures in Macro" yesterday. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
![(63) "Eye of the Oxeye" 5/19/10<br />
Taken Sunday on a beautiful day before all of the recent rain. Found a nice patch of Oxeye Daises in full bloom, my first daisy find of the season. Was quite excited - been waiting for them :) So there I am, about 3 inches from the blossom, happily snapping away when all of a sudden [insert dramatic music].... to be continued.....<br />

I can't thank everyone enough for the wonderful comments on Annie's birthday photo. She was so happy, and so was my wife; Annie is like our daughter, if you couldn't tell :) Hope everyone has a fantastic day!](https://photos.smugmug.com/Daily-Visions/Daily-Visions-arch/i-QzhJZZF/7/e8bc78b9/Ti/IMG_6971ec-Ti.jpg)
