The 4th in this theme of "I saw God today". I came across these lyrics by a country musician quite a while back and I wanted to share it, but just somehow never came across the right moment or forum until now as it fits in with my theme. Some people will appreciate it and others won't, but its ok.

There's a lot of people laughing and smiling
There's a lot of people hurting and crying
It doesn't matter which one you are
You won't get far before you feel them both
It doesn't matter if tears of pain or tears of joy
Are what you feel the most
I only know the sun shines through
It always does, it always has to
There's a lot of questions that we'd love to ask
If we get the chance to

God only knows who is gonna live
Who is gonna take and who is gonna give
Which one is gonna fly like an eagle in the sky
Which one is gonna fall, becoming heroes to us all
Who grows old, who dies young
God only knows

Life is what we make it, so take it and live it well
Don't worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about itself
And tell the ones that you love so
To take it slow 'cause time goes by so fast
Cherish every second here
Live every day like it might be your last, 'cause
God only knows who is gonna live
Who is gonna take and who is gonna give
Which one is gonna fly like an eagle in the sky
Which one is gonna fall, becoming heroes to us all
Who grows old, who dies young
God only knows

God only knows who is gonna live
Who is gonna take and who is gonna give
Which one is gonna fly like an eagle in the sky
Which one is gonna fall, becoming heroes to us all
Who grows old, who dies young
God only knows

Who's to say what's to come
God only knows, God only knows

Trying to capture this bee was not an easy task. The wind was continuously blowing, the bees were continuously flying and only landed for like split seconds, too little time for me to focus. I think I took over 100 photos of various bees and 99% of them landed in the trash, but its ok, I learnt as I went along. Still not there yet, but I'll get there.

Nice shot. I like the colors, the dof and the composition.
And the bee is really sharp.

Hi Rute,

This is a nice composition the bee is sitting very nicely as if waiting to photographed great capture. The details of the bee are nice and sharp great narrow dof good colours well done.

Regards
Jon

Hi Rute,
Beautiful shot with the new camera! Very clear and defined, great colours too. Maybe crop a bit more of the empty space off to the right for a more vertical look, but I love the way you've focused this. Well spotted and captured! :).

TFS,
Scott.

Hello Rute,

Very impressive macro. Awesome capture of this bee and impressive colours throughout this composition. Well photographed. TFS.
