Outrunning the Sun | Honey bee

The day's last flight,
outrunning the sun in a search for pollen,
a bladed bridge surrenders to a frozen leap.

Thanks very much, Ludo. A German website some time ago tested all macro lenses, and Tamron's came out best, better than Nikon or Canon. But almost any good, modern lens will work well. Posted 13 years ago
