Yeah! Blueberries! Yammie!
I am not interested if the bumblebee collects as much energy as it gives to fly around, as long as it pollinates my next summer's berries!

Your camera was really worth the money!

If a man is in the forest, and there isn't a woman around, is he still wrong?

I only like blueberries if they are self-picked fresh during a vacation to Sweden!
These are wild blueberries in a little forest near my home (thus: Germany) but as they are right next to a very busy hiking path, there is no chance of picking any blueberries myself because they are usually gone once they are somewhat ripe.

And yes, I think the camera was really worth the money. It took some getting used to before I mastered the camera well enough to get good pictures but now it's starting to pay off. My previous camera made quite good pictures "out of the box" already with default settings and all, the new one needs to get told what you want to get in every detail, so to speak. If you get yourself this expensive camera and expect to get perfect pictures at the mere push of a button, you'll be massively disappointed. If you take your time to learn how to properly use the camera though, you can achieve great results with it.

mmmmm, blueberry-blossom honey... *drools*

Blueberries are the single biggest crop in this area. Most of the fields bring in hives during the flowering season to do the pollinating. But wow, awesome shot! Things like this take patience but are worth it, i think. ^_^
*SO needs to get off her patooba and get shooting again*

I never heard of blueberry-blossom honey before!

Well this picture was more like "Oh a bumble-bee between the blueberries, cool, let me take a picture. Oh, hey, where did it go? Ah there it i... damnit, hold still! Now I got y... DAMN! Aha, that's better... no, now it was hidden behind a leaf. Ah, there it is again... or is it? WTF?"



The other hikers that were walking past must have thought I was nuts or something. I was using a strong tele lens, so had a few feet distance from the blueberry bush. The people probably didn't even see the bumble-bee, maybe didn't even recognize the blueberry plants. It must have looked like I was merely aiming the camera at some small greenish weeds on the otherweise brown and empty forest ground.
