I’ve reviewed the 52 photos I selected as photos of the week and I’ve chosen my favorite. While I was less consistently photographing week to week, there were still lots of photos to pick from. I chose this shot of mating Common Eastern Bumble Bees as it was both a good macro photograph and it also captured a novel bit of insect behaviour.

There were a few other notable photographs, like this shot of a Gray Jay (favorite bird shot of the year) and this “studio” shot of a Slender Crab Spider (favorite spider shot of the year). Below you can see a slideshow with all of the 2014 photos of the week.
