Not feeling on top form so this photo was taken from the front porch. The Prickly Pear grows against the fence - I have never measured the distance between the front fence and the house - my guess is that it is probably about 1,5 to 2 meters away.  I had the camera set up on the tripod and zoomed in to take a photo of the Beetles,  when a Bee decided to pop in to complete the picture!
My Canon Powershot SX130 has proved to be "Nifty" indeed! I was so surprised at the detail - right down to the texture of the petals, stamens and even the pollen grains.
(How I wish I could take the credit for the settings!)

(I might even consider a 3rd year of daily photos!)
