Heavy Laden

Bee

I was out in the garden with my camera when this giant bumblebee came flying past me, his wings beating like crazy to keep him aloft. He was about to fall out of the sky because of all that pollen piled up on his legs. I mean, check that stuff out, that big orange blog hanging off the side of him. He seriously was having a ton of trouble flying. Normally I try to sort of usher these guys off toward the garden to make sure that all of my vegetables get amply pollinated, but I was sure that if I did that he would just – bloop! – hit the pavement. He looked like a remote controlled helicopter.
