Backyard Spring Nature in New Jersey.

Carpenter Bee in Flight. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/4 lens (ISO 800, 300 mm, f/4, 1/640 sec). This is a crop from the full image. I did this hand-held, and had to manually focus. No VR with this lens. So lots of out of focus images to get one or two in focus.
