A carpenter bee pauses for a moment in the Summer afternoon sun for a sip of nectar from a milkweed flower. Along with being a good capture of a moment in nature, the photo has a nice mix of colors and the depth of field is sharp across everything that matters and still pushes the nearby foliage into the background.
