Bee on Lavender by andycoleborn

Bee on Lavender

Spent Sunday being quite lazy, mainly doing up the garden which hasn't had much work done on it for a month.

I hadn't taken a photo so decided to grab something in the garden for today's snap. Wasn't happy with anything then spotted a tired looking bee resting on a lavender flower. As he wasn't moving much, I thought he would do for today, so picked off the flower, rested it on my girlfriend's car's roof and snapped away.

This little chap wasn't very lively whilst I was moving him and getting myself ready, but as soon as I got the camera focused, he decided he would start being camera shy and kept walking off... This was about the best of the bunch I took.

Girlfriend was locked away revising for tomorrow's exam so other then that, I had a peaceful and relaxing day and now back home watching the weekend's football highlights...
Excellent capture. I love bumble bees.

You managed some lovely soft lighting here....the bees are getting sleepy, probably due to wintery conditions! lol Some great footie highlights this weekend......esp Chelsea's 6-0 win!!
