Shy, by Joaquín Alonso Arellano Ramírez

In my hunt of macro shots I found a Nopal (Cactaceae) with few flowers, they were stunning! To my surprise in one of the flowers had a little bee, and in one of it movements seemed it became “shy”. I was surprised to see the bee did not feel threatened by my presence.
