One of the ideas that I promote is not just looking at things but actually seeing them.\u00a0 I call it backyard scuba<\/strong><\/a> because it is what people are willing to do underwater but forget to do in the backyard unless reminded.<\/p>\n

Note the bee on the right of the center of the Rose.<\/p>\n

The image was good enough that I could use the zoom feature on the computer<\/p>\n

More pictures of the same bee working on Flickr<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
