Are you killing yourself by being busy unnecessarily?
There is nothing wrong with being busy.
But there is something wrong if you are busy to fulfill your greed.
Even the busy bee stops, takes time to smell the flower and picks up the best honey.
“Never get so busy making a living, that you forget to make a life” Unknown
Spinning like a top
I have been taking photographs of honey bees, hoverflies etc. for quite some time.
One thing I find difficult was photographing the bee when it’s in ‘flight mode’.
I always wished to have a good shot of both the ‘wings’ Viewed from above at the same time with the wings blurred nicely giving a fast-moving ‘spin top’ appearance.
Fortunately, I was successful.
Shutter speed-1/800 sec,f/4.5, Focal length 100 mm, ISO 100
Thank you.
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏

Love your choice this week Philo – your bee image is perfect!! I’ve not seen one with the body still but the wings in motion – excellent catch
