The insects love the Lavender. I sat on a rock next to it and clicked away while bees and butterflies came and went. I had never seen one of these green and yellow bees before starting 365 but they are in my garden all the time.
You and I are soulmates - I do the same thing lol. I was just saying that I spend waaay too much time in the backyard taking pictures of bees and butterflies, but it's a love only us photographers can understand :) Great shot. Another one of yours fav'd!
Brilliant. I didn't know we had orange bottomed bees until I took a photo of one and was told they are quite common. Photography, especially macro makes you see things that you hadn't noticed before but were always there. Fav
@shepherdmanswife I can't believe that I didn't even know the name of our most common butterfly before 365. I have learnt so much. Thanks Chantal!
@sphotos Yes Sophie, it's an Australian native bee.
@lyndemc Thanks Denise, t's quite amazing isn't it, must be very efficient at drinking :)
Just Google bees (images) you may find it there.
