It's definitely the time of year when insects are easy to find.  Maybe too easy!  I'm not a huge bug fan like my grandson, but I realize they have their purpose!

I spend a lot of time at the Ornamental Gardens when the flowers are blooming and I love to see the bees buzzing around the flowers while searching for nectar.  Finding a bee on a flower with an orange center turned out to be just perfect for this week's orange theme. 

Getting crisp photos of an insect is not always easy as they love to move fast.  If you're photographing a fast moving bug today try to use as high of a shutter speed as possible, above 500.  This will help freeze the movement and give you a sharper photo.
