Poor Honey...

No one told her that the leg-warmer craze died out decades ago...and yet, here she is, flaunting them. Of course, you've got to give it to a gal who rocks her own style, no matter what the fashionistas say. So, is it any wonder that the humble (and fashion-challenged) honey bee is today's blip?

I was up early this morning and out on my favorite trail by 7:30. Lots of birds about for the first hour of my walk, then the insects started to stir. Making me glad I carried two cameras and both Big Daddy and the 105 macro. I saw lots of rabbits, a shockingly calm deer, many birds, damsels, dragons, butterflies and bees. And the only other person I saw was a woman starting her run just as I was leaving the trail. I'd call that a very good way to start the day.

Back home to shower and change, then off to meet the President of the Chamber for lunch - she's a good friend and I enjoyed our time together. Plus lunch was delicious - a kale caesar salad with salmon.

I plan to take some hummer photos this afternoon, but I am going with this for today's blip. If is very seldom that I can catch any insect in flight and I was quite pleased with this. Also, I find the macro lens to be particularly difficult for in-flight shots, because the DOF is so narrow. (Or maybe it is my lack of skill with the lens...)

Nine more hours until Hubs should be walking through the door - I can't wait to hug him.

Happy Friday, people. And if you'd like to look at some of my other shots from this morning, I've posted 10 starting HERE
