As I promised, a photograph for this post.
It's hard to choose a random photograph from my collection without any idea of what I wanted. I have literally thousands to choose from.
So this photo was taken during my archaeological dig in Montana. We were at the dig site when all of a sudden, bees were everywhere. I mean everywhere! We were enjoying lunch and while most took shelter in the same rock shelter Native Americans had in ages previous I pulled out my camera and started stalking bees. This guy was particularly photogenic, landing on my daypack which made a great backdrop.
I had never been stung by a bee before this point. And it was only an accident that I was stung at all. I was sitting down and a bee crawled up my pant leg through a hole in the knee. I didn't know this so when I stood to get back to work the fabric tighten around the bee and in its panic it stung me. I still feel slightly guilty, so this post is in honor of that bee.
