fat bee on tarragon by quietpurplehaze

fat bee on tarragon

Some of the bees seem very fat this year. The tarragon is really tall and seeded itself in the garden last year from a plant in a pot on the patio.
Thanks, all my friends on 365, for your interest in my pics and comments, and also for recent favs, which help to keep me inspired!
I finished my last half-job from my list this morning -sewing on buttons - guess I could have taken a pic of the needle for today's word. But even if I had managed to do it, I wouldn't find it in the least inspirational.............
Super shot Hazel and if my eyes do not deceive me it's *two for the price of one * !! Lovely bokeh & backlight-- FAV

Well thank you and that's interesting Beryl as it was definitely one bee when I took the shot but when I looked at the shot on the computer I could see two, like you. Are you going to reduce the fav to half???!!!!!!! Tthink it IS one and the two is some sort of illusion!

@carys

Carys, if you've had two, you'll surely have more!

@quietpurplehaze I still see two !! hence the fav should be doubled !! Very heavy & muggy here today after some rain in the night --but the sun is trying to shine through !!

Fabulous macro. Came as a great surprise to me the 1st time I saw a bee macro to discover they are hairy/furry.

Ok! Muggy here too a bit of drizzle first thing. Trying to get Jinks down off the spare bedroom bed to go in the garden for a pee before I go out - think I'm going to be late. Hope you have a nice day! Nice to talk!

@pyrrhula

Think my camera ws 4-6 inches from the bee and I also cropped the shot a little bit.

There have been lads of bees about this year, made me very happy - love them and all they do for us :)
Lovely macro Hazel.
