The Bees
I went out photographing bees today morning. I moved forward and back on one bee that kept getting out of focus. Bees on flowers move quickly. When I missed the shot, suddenly a monarch butterfly just lands in the same spot, right into my frame. I was so bewildered about such a matchless experience and coincidence. What are the odds? Magical !

Right after lunch I looked out the window and sipped on a coffee. The sky was blue and I knew that it was gonna rain today, so I decided that I didn't wanna miss the pollinators. I went outside and there were flower bushes full of them. There must be some redolence in the flowers that made me see all those amazing colors. The spring light? In my previous post Macrosperiments 3 I also tried two lens combos.
Broken Aperture
This time I left Mr. Dusty at home. Instead I took a 135mm. Unfortunately the aperture was stuck at max and I could not tamper with depth of field. If I would have been able to reduce the aperture, I might have gotten better shots. Oh well... I finally need a lens for this. . Here's a link to my very first Steemit Post:

I also film, as I use several cameras and lenses. My previous Video post is a time lapse on @dtube with original music. I used a 50mm f / 1.8 and a regular 18-200mm for this one:

[ NOTE: The settings of Lenses and Apertures in these Photographs are not ideal. Using them anyways was intended, because I enjoy the shallow depth of field. This post, and my previous series of 'Macrosperiments' are dedicated to Pollinating Insects. ]

@historiasamorlez Thank you very much. I’m so honored. Bees are very close to my heart. Such peaceful little furry creatures 😍. They usually love lavender. This year the lavender wasn’t visited much. Last year i wondered where all the monarch butterflies went. This year I saw plenty.
