Thanks, Chuck, that's more praise than I was expecting and I'll accept
it with good grace. I chased that bee around for ages, and most of
the shots I took of it were out of focus or too small. The ones where
it's in flight were very severely cropped so the result is close to a
full-pixel crop - the sharpness of the ZD 50 f2 hides it well.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
