To bee or not to be by maggiemae

To bee or not to be

Thank you everyone who commented on my yesterday’s photo - I couldn’t believe it! All those wrinkles! However, as hubby says, don’t you think you should have those at your age? And thats true.
Three good things:
1. I caught a bee in the lavender after a bit of chasing, - not by its tail but by its desire to bury its face in the flower.
2. Olympics again - I was making a huge effort trying to run first, heave myself over the high jump bar, throw silly balls over a distance, swim the distance in front! Good for my day's exercise, I thought!
3. Watching a concert at the London Palladium tonight - how long ago was it viewed by those in England I wonder!
Fantastic capture.

Beautiful bee; he looks a bit different from the one I posted today.

@gijsje He is, Bep. Mine would be what I call a honey bee and yours looks almost like a bumble bee perhaps!

I think mine is a bumble bee indeed, The Dutch name for a bumble bee is ' a hommel'.

The bee against the purplish blue is fabulous. You've got such clear details on both the lavender and the bee.
