I took this out the front of my parents home in Sussex UK mid June 2012 and the time the plight of the bumblebee and our future of pollination was and still is threatened. Two self seeded stunning red poppies synonymous with poppy day.Time
18th June 2012 9.17 am - on the way out spotted this little fellow buzzing around this stunning poppy.Lighting
Outdoor lighting beside the garage and the front of the house flower beds this cutie self seeded poppy delightful in colour shape and form.Equipment
Handheld shot with my canon 20D 60.0 mm macro lens - I am surprised as i feel this was later with my new 6d canon. Great technology for that flaling human memory.Inspiration
This was just such an endearing morning surprise and delightful sight, a self seeded poppy in all its glory and a buzzingly happy bumblebee at work, literally gloryfying in the sunshine of the yellow sunshine pollen.Editing

Canon 20 D macro 60 mm and a benbo trekker tripod never used really at all. great lightweigh tripod through for trudding through....Feedback
Well you gotta get lucky with these buzzing bees either they are infactuated with one flower or they are bouncing around from flower to flower getting their pollen. A 'no fear' of bumblebees of gettting stung, a humble approach to nature and its sheer beauty. They are your friend as as photographer and your helping their quest to get the awareness of the bee cause https://friendsoftheearth.uk/bees and credit they deserve for pollinating all our plants and food and the environment to do their job and survive this planet. The beauty of nature and it universal importance, something to fight for peacefully . . .
