Bees and butterflies
I went bee-hunting the other day (I’m still trying to get a photo accepted for the New York Times’ daily Spelling Bee game).
The bees wouldn’t hold still but this butterfly offered a different kind of photo op. The photo speaks for itself, but I’ll state the obvious again: The beauty in nature is sometimes hard to believe.
As for Spelling Bee, the game is accompanied by a different bee photo every day. Readers are invited to submit pictures for this purpose. Not for pay, but simply for the buzz of it.
I’ve sent in two so far; I don’t know if they’re in the NYT queue, or if they’ve already been rejected.
The competition is stiff. There may be as many amateur photographer out there as there are bees and their photos are impressive.
