What a day I had trying to capture this little beauty. I originally came down into South Shields to go and capture some images at The Armed Forces Day in Bents Park after scooting around taking photos of bikes and anything else of interest I headed over to Marine Park. I had notice on the way down that the gardeners had redone all the flower beds, so perfect for a couple of Macro shots. As I got to the end of the park I noticed this bee flying around gathering pollen, and I thought OK lets try and capture it. If anybody has ever sat and watched a bee buzzing from flower to flower will understand this next part. I was literally jumping from flower to flower following this bee around snapping away in the hope of getting the perfect shot. I'm not sure what other people thought, who was gazing over at some amusement at such a spectacle that was been played in front of their very eyes. Approximately 20 shots later after both the bee and myself were totally exhausted, I checked my camera to find I had done it :)
