Taken last weekend while fooling around looking for bird shots. This is borage and a bumblebee both introduced from Europe. Borage is surprisingly prickly which at first glance doesn't seem very well armed but seeing it close up it's no wonder it's a bit of a handful. Bumblebees on the other hand are surprisingly benign despite their potentially painful sting. That is unless you start digging up their nests which I had to do for some research I did in the UK years ago. Specs: K10D, Sigma APO 300/4 AF, handheld 1/350 F6.7 ISO800 Comments & Critique welcome.
