Perhaps not the photo you were expecting to see after what I posted yesterday, but there you go. This is a busy bumblebee pollinating a crocus at Bergdalen in Tungelsta. And I actually shot this one the day before the winter chair photo. Another fine sign of Spring. We have a word for this type of quick changes in the weather. Aprilväder. Translated to English: April Weather. More scientifically it is spring when the average temperature rises above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. During the month of April you are likely to see this type of quick weather changes, but if you don't live here, I guess it can be a bit confusing with Spring one day, followed by Winter, and then back to Spring again. But it's interesting from a photographers view, that's for sure.
It looks as if he's wearing an orange vest. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteA slightlydifferent "portrait" than you usually post!
ReplyDeletePS. I've been travelling the last couple days back to Mn. without frequent access to internet so I haven't commented very much. I have scheduled posts from Santa Fe which should appear daily for awhile.
Looks like that bee's had a busy and productive day! Very nice "spring" photo!!
ReplyDeleteGreat macro picture, always nice to get bee at work inside a flower.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen one here in Yorkshire so far this year.
I think he's drunk on pollen!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great macro.
What a wonderful bumblebee! Everyone is tired of seeing the snow covered chair - we want Spring!
ReplyDeleteMy compliments on this one Steffe. A great close up. Look at that pollen he's wearing.
ReplyDeletesuperbe macro, on voit bien tout les details, et surtout le pollen, bravo
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. Great colors.
ReplyDeleteÅh, vilken söt! Och alldeles nedpudrad med frömjöl :) Ser bättre ut där än här. Nu sätter jag mig snart i bilen och åker ner.
ReplyDeleteOch jag fortsätter att utmärka mig genom att vara den enda som skriver på svenska här, ha ha. Så är det, när man får en sann nordist på halsen ;)
What a brilliant capture.

That is a beautiful picture Steffe! The bee takes his job seriously.
ReplyDeleteA quite original and unexpected spring pcture!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the bee took a pollen bath. Gorgeous picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning photo, such great detail and color! My compliments!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Steffe!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJag är ett makro freak och denna bild bara ääääääääääääger typ ;-) som min tonåring skulle säga, ha, ha. Tumbs up. Ha det!
Thanks people.
ReplyDeleteA somewhat cropped version of this photo made it's way into the morning paper Dagens Nyheter today.

Love this shot, Steffe. You know I am partial to bees of all sorts...
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and commenting on Seguin blog. :-)
I was out chasing a bumblebee yesterday. If there were any good photos (still on the memory card), I will post a link here.
