For the past few years regular readers have been enduring my camera phone photography, it's a little tricky operating a touchscreen when you're wearing Dexter style black marigolds and I'm often trying to hold whatever the subject is in one hand or trying to follow something on the move. So it's fair to say the pictures could be better.
In March I had a visit from the young lady who runs
Facet Photography. As well as doing photoshoots she also does nature
macro photography and has a page dedicated to this over at
Facet Photography Artworks with images for sale online. With a keen eye for an image, a digital SLR and
macro lens taking her close to her subjects she manages some impressive images.

| Worker Bee covered with Pollen |
In the picture above we see
a worker of the side of a hive roof sunning herself after a busy morning of gathering
pollen. She's very fluffy still so I'd guess she's not been foraging for long. If you click on the picture below of a worker bee on the comb you can clearly see two of the bee's three
simple eyes (or
ocelli) on the her head between her large compound eyes.
