My daughter gave me a potted Grass Tree (complete with licence certificate) for Father's Day. Went out this morning and the stalk has flowered and it is the main attraction in the garden. Honey Bees, Native Bees and all manner of tiny creatures.

Nice work Mark. Terrific lighting.
I see that robber fly is back for a free feed...

Mark - beautiful tree and superb pics

What is it with everyone posting such great images this weekend?

Mark, crop that fist omage to a landscape orientation, showing mainly just the fly coming in with the bee already on the plant.

Just for you Gary. Didn't quite nail the focus on the Robber Fly though

Mark,

I have some bad news for you. You need to recall those models for a reshoot. Net time use a much faster shutter speed, and see if you can nail the fly's wings in the exposure.

Regarding the focus ... I wouldn't worry too much about that aspect. After all, the image was shot using a Sigma lens.

Seriously, this is exactly what I had in mind, and I think it looks great. Well done.

Beautifully exposed and timely captures Mark. Like the composition of the first
cheers
