More fun with macro

Santa brought some new toys yesterday - an Olympus 60mm macro lens and a Manfrotto geared head for the tripod. I've been testing it out on some stationary objects yesterday and I've been out in the garden this morning to see if the bees were prepared to cooperate.

The 60mm macro comes to focus a lot closer to the object than the zoom I was using earlier. The bees were not quite as keen to have the camera as close and spent a lot of time buzzing around the camera rather than landing on the flowers.

Thanks for looking. Comments and advice always welcome
