Here's an unspecified Aster in bloom at Whitesbog, NJ. Asters are a harbinger of Fall. Taken with a Canon 6D digital SLR camera and a Canon 24 to 105 mm f/4L zoom lens set to 105 mm focal length. Exposed 1/200 second at f/5, ISO 100; handheld.
A bee enters the view. Same camera, lens and focal length. Exposed 1/250 second at f/5.6, ISO 100; handheld.
The bee has now reached the disc flowers of this member of the composite family. Same camera, lens and focal length. Exposed 1/250 second at f/5.6, ISO 100; handheld.
