Bee On A Break

These last few days have been hot, miserably hot.  It's not just us humans who are feeling the heat, but our insect friends as well.  I was admiring the flower bed the other day, keeping an eye open for my winged friends who are usually buzzing by.  I noticed this one little bumblebee who seemed to be just relaxing on the petal of one of my Brown Eyed Susan flowers.  I had the time to grab my camera and take a photograph of my relaxing friend before quickly returning to the cool air conditioned comfort of the head office.  The photograph was taken at f/6.3, 1/200sec, ISO 100 at 70mm.  I then sent the photograph off to Lori Graham, Weather Specialist at CTV Montreal, and she was kind enough to air it during the evening newscast.  Thanks once again for the 15 seconds of fame.  As for my humble bumble buddy, I hope he enjoyed his little rest and he has an open invitation to return whenever he'd like.
