My first bumble bee

just would not sit still! I heard it before I saw it. Of course I had the wrong lens to get any closer. There was this beautiful old tree full of these new to me blossoms at Vergenoegd.

so beautiful!

If you haven't heard it already, you must listen to Abba's song 'The Bumblebee'. It's quite lovely - as are these images!

[Babs]

Well done

[Susan Wakely]

Great bee action.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautifully done in this diptych - as he buzzes here and there !!

[Joan Robillard]

Nice shots all the same

[Valerie Chesney]

Delightful!

[Mags]

Great shots!

[Bill]

I thought I was the only one who always had the wrong lens on. I think it works well being part of the scene. The flowers are beautiful.

Super nice capture.

Beautiful collage, nicely edited.

[Allison Maltese]

A nice pair of shots! Hopefully you will see more bees to come. Here we are winding down to enter winter....

[Lisa Savill]

Great shot. I find bees so tricky to capture.

[katy]

Very well done for such a tricky subject! Wonderful clarity of this moving target!

[LManning (Laura)]

They are such a challenge, and these shots are great! I think this might be a Carpenter bee, rather than a Bumble. They have the shiny black hind end and slightly longer wings.
