Bee on Thistle
 

One busy bee - no matter how much I chided her, though, she would NOT turn around to face me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lessons learned: </p>
<p>1) Even a bit of a breeze can suck when trying to get these shots</p>
<p>2) I can manually focus after all</p>
<p>3) An ADHD 9 year old does NOT make a good &quot;flower stabilizer&quot;</p>
<p>4) Need to move to center-weighted or spot light metering.</p>
