Cool title and very nice photo. Like 5ks, never thought of surfing on something dry.

Thanks Chas. With a little rotation of the image it looked like the bee was standing up and the curved bumps, nodules(?) looked kinda like waves.

Obviously that bee thinks it's surf!
Riding it just like my grandkid!
Very impressive detail as well as depth of field.
Angky.
