Not sure why, but the possibility of being stung always keeps me on guard. However, photography has pushed me to get closer to them without flinching too much. I can't see a honey bee without thinking of you! They really are remarkable, and I wish that was conveyed to me as a child. I think I would be a little less skittish. I have always kept very calm about bugs, bees, snakes, and spiders around my kids to help them appreciate and not fear. My mom did not react that way, and it was important to me to keep my kids from being afraid of creation.Kim Cunningham https://www.blogger.com/profile/15228475634696692073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259467686458690615.post-4125235727617093072013-04-18T15:52:26.296-05:002013-04-18T15:52:26.296-05:00Super super shots!!!
