‘TIS THE SEASON FOR SPREADING POLLEN:

Shot in my front yard, using the Nikon D300 and the Nikon 18-200 DX VR lens. I think the D300 is as far beyond my old D70 as the D70 was beyond what I had before. Which isn’t to dis the D70: I made a 20×30 print of this picture, taken with the D70, and it looks great.

UPDATE: Various readers object that this is a wasp, and wasps don’t pollinate. Yes, it is a wasp, but in fact it was pollinating up a storm, going from flower to flower. Not surprising, as wasps are actually very important pollinators.
