FlyBee

Got out in Sangeeta's garden today to do some work, cut the grass, dead-headed some flowers and of course, take some photos..

The lavender was alive with bees so I tried my best to capture some in flight... Busy little gits.. was much harder than I thought so hats off to the guys on here that capture flying insects so well...

Sangeeta's son has his mate staying for the week - Sangeeta gave them £40 for food and said they can fend for themselves this week..So off they went today to stock up.. on yep, you guessed it... plenty of pizzas, crisps, icecream, microwave burgers and the like.. I reckon it'll last them until Wednesday..!

Wonderful bee macro! I llike its little legs.
Your story about the teenage guys made me laugh. So typical and predictable :)

Fab, I love the crop on this one. They certainly are difficult to capture.
