I chased this bumblebee from flower to flower trying to take his picture. Each time he just buzzed away leaving me with nothing but an out-of-focus blur. Finally he lingered on the Baptisia long enough for me to get a picture. Thrilled with my success I took a second shot.
When I got a look at this picture I was amazed. How can it be possible that this fat fuzzy bumblebee can dart around from flower to flower when it has such tiny little wings? It must take a lot of nectar to get this wide body off the ground. It's a miracle that he can fly at all, but he can zoom. He buzzed right off again, but at least this time I got his picture.
