Contest: ENTER All About the 'birds' and the 'bees'

[Random_Spock]

Our theme this week deals with the 'birds' and the 'bees', as in actual birds and bees and not what you guys may or may not be thinking of. So basically pictures of any birds, bees, birds and bees and so on are ok to use.

Usual rules apply, avatars are only allowed to be 200 by 200, maximum size of 1mb, no media images and must abide by the board's image policy (don't want to upset the Google overlords ). Contest will be open for a week.

Here's my entry:

A pic of a humming bird and a bee.

Have fun!

I'm going to go with a bird, since bees make me nervous.

oooooooh! a cool topic! I know I have a good bee-in-a-rose pic somewhere on my harddrive. If only I could find it. Argh! Must tidy up my HDD!

 

[rhubarbodendron]

Can't find the rose one but I have a bee taking a header into a crocus

 

[Random_Spock]

Nice!

*bumps thread*
come on, folks! I bet everyone has taken a pic of a pretty flower or an insect at one time. Don't be shy, show them to us!

 

[Random_Spock]

Thanks for the bump!

Real Bird. Real Bees

Lucky. Any pics taken by me would look like crap... as I don't have a fancy camera, just a cellphone one .

The sunflower was taken on my phone

That's a really nice phone. Mine is crap with that. It gets rather pixelated when I try to take closer images for some reason.

Here’s mine! Reminds me of the way my neighbors look at me on Sunday morning.

I have the galaxy s7, which I got for insanely cheap. It's been dropped several times since; so it's camera quality has gone downhill due to "percussive issues" lol.
I did buy myself a real camera last year; the robin was shot from about 20-40 feet away using my zoom lens. I've been taking pictures on whatever camera I had available since I was a teenager; I'd like to think I've developed an eye for it (pun intended).

Nice.

Ah I see.

Nice! Wish I had an actual camera on my end... for the most part, most shots I get aren't that good. Yea you have a good eye.

Here's a shot I took of my oldest dog and his cat friend (may she rest in peace).
