I unremarkably film with a Canon SLR but my girlfriend and I were out and the only camera we had was her P&S Olympus FE-370 . I set the camera to super - macro and keep open taking pictures of this bee till it fly away . I was impressed by how well the shots come out for a fair old P&S. No particular background , just motorcar mode .

The pellet was inspired by the lines in the challenge position “ the long - slumbering skeletons of wood are come back to life ” . This was shot in a bloom of cherry trees on Roosevelt Island in New York City . The set springtime sun on the right casts a quick glow on the outgrowth , and the pink blossoms of the tree diagram contribute a pinkish hue to the other side . The sky is promising blue on this unseasonably fond evening .

Shot of a bud in my married woman ’s garden . Seemed like a chilly , classic New England morning – a little muddy and overcast . I thought that this represented the coming of spring despite the muffled feel of the good morning .
Taken with Nikon D40 with 35 mm f1/8 lens at ISO 200 and f5.8 . Performed postal service processing with Apple Aperture – just a little tweaking of the color and a harvest .

I think he was telling me to block trouble him doing his spring cleaning , and it was time for me to start doing mine . ”

Superb creativity and technique by all . It ’s an honor to curate your piece of work , and I remember we can all appreciate leap a bit more because of it .
