A Bee in My Bonnet


I decided that I needed to do something different today. I needed a photograph at a different scale from what I have been doing lately. "A close-up" I thought! So I went out by the side of the house where there is lavender growing. I put the close-up lens on the camera, and moved in on the blossoms. Imagine my surprise to find bees coming and going a mile-a-minute.! So it seemed more interesting to try and photograph the bees at work. It was fascinating to watch them. They were all "busy as bees" believe it or not! They were hard to shoot, because when they land on the blossoms, they work really fast, and then are gone. At least I got one.
