The bees were very busy in the fireweed this afternoon! They were everywhere but I still had to be fast with my shutter finger to catch them as they buzzed from one stalk of fireweed to the next. It was kind of fun and I kept at it for about 30 minutes. Of course, I tried not think of the bittersweet beauty of the fireweed as it is a harbinger of the end of summer. Once it reaches the top the first snowfall is only six weeks away. Ouch. But, for now I will bask in summer and think only...of fireweed and bees.
Back lit bee and fireweed.
Hovering bee.
Moving in for a landing.
A lone stalk of fireweed.
