There have been a lot of Bumblebees on my veronicastrum, they particularly like this fasciated (abnormal growth) flower spike.

Nice Alan I guess the 90mm lens involves bending down or kneeling a lot so hard work, I used to shoot a minolta 100 2.8 rs on a-mount great lens, I think my son has the sony 100mm 2.8 so I might try on the lea-5 anyway nice

I miss my old yard that I had set up with native plants and tree/shrubs. They bought in so many insects as well as bird.
I was at that time going out with my macro set up and spend a lot of time getting shots like this and I as I said miss it.
So it is so good to see that you are doing what I use to do. Very well done.
