The Bee and the Iris
White Azalea
Okinawa Iris 2012
The month of March can come in like a lion and go out like a lamb.
It can also come in like a lamb and go out like a lion.
That's what I learned today at ANSWERS DOT COM
It's been a terribly busy month for me so, I didn't enter many photos in contests.
From the photos that were selected as Editor's Picks, you'd think I'm turning into a flower
photographer, or something. Hah ! Don't worry, wildlife is still my favorite subject.
The details on how those photos above were taken can be seen by clicking on the titles.
Only, I don't tell the judges everything.
Like, see that bee up there on the iris ?
Well, I was talking to him.
It's pretty hard to shoot a scene like that, the way I want to.
The wind moves the iris petals. The shadows and light keep changing.
The background in the scene keeps changing. And bees move around a lot.
Nobody was anywhere near me so, I could say stuff like
LOOK AT THE CAMERA
LET ME SPOT FOCUS ON YOUR EYEBALL
HOLD STILL YOU LITTLE SON OF A BEE
SO, THAT'S WHAT I DID !
Don't let the judges know. OK?
And, I passed the test !
Here's what kept me so busy this month and away from my normal routine.
I did a test article to see if I'd be accepted as a Featured Contributor for Yahoo as an International Travel Writer.
And, I passed the test !
That's good news. But, wouldn't you know it ?
After all the years I spent trying to learn this internet thingy
some knuckleheads decided they're gonna shut it down !
