Busy bee.

I went out this morning & forgot to take my big camera, it takes some getting used to & I'm so used to just having my P&S in my bag all the time.

I am enjoying using the new one but this is a pretty boring picture but have had to fall back on the garden again.
On the whole I am quite pleased with this shot although perhaps not as clear as I would like...... yet!

Tomorrow I am off to London for a couple of days to meet my sister. I have decided to only take my small camera as I am traveling light & not much time to take more in depth pictures...it will be literally point & shoot.

Three good things...
1. Got all my washing dried from the full house B&B.
2.My friend is feeling much better after being ill for many months.
3.The new dog next door hasn't barked once today!

One bad thing I have lost my cashline card & had to order a new one , it must still be in Ireland!

This is gorgeous. Have a great trip

This is lovely - lucky lavender bee!! Have a great time in London! Isn't it funny how when we are thinking of three good things, we often develop negative corollaries?!?!

[Diana Moss]

What marvellous detail , lovely picture, hope you have a good time in Longon

[Fanny Brogden]

Marvellous shot.....so understand the camera thing, a p&s is in your bag with the mobile, the DSLR is huge and is taken on expeditions!!

@fannyb I don't think my sister would be too impressed with me keep stopping & getting the right shot!!!!

Super shot Pat, the edge of the bee's wing and the hair on his back are quite incredibly detailed and crisp. +F
