If only we had all been able to start so early in life...
It's great that he's already taking such wonderful shots, Ron. I'm sure it helps to have a grandpa that has so much experience creating excellent bee fly images. Looking forward to seeing more from Iszak in the future...

He'll be around, likely for a year.
I'm sure there will be more posts from him. We'll be shooting today. I just pointed him to the fly and stood back. (More often than not, he's the one doing the pointing.)
