Lady Bee

This was taken in a quick break from the gardening. I know that she's a Lady Bee because she was part of a mating pair about ten seconds before I took this. Unfortunately the shot's of the pair were not as sharp. As much as I enjoy macro photography it is a challenge! I took this hand-held on my 50mm macro lens and was struggling with both the amount of light (either not enough or too much, sometimes at the same time!) and the shutter speed (either they were moving too much or I was!) so I was pleased with this result.
