.... captured in the garden this afternoon. Had I got my new camera up and running this would have been a shot of a pretty tiny bird sitting on our new TV aerial on our new chimney singing his heart out. However, I've only so far managed to attach the shoulder strap to the camera - technology and me just do not go together and I work more on intuition. I tried to attach the lens cap to the camera, could see the 'hole' on the lens cap but the one on the camera escaped me. Luckily Ray and I have a day together tomorrow so he can explain, I'm sure! I should add that this is a modest camera compared with the equipment most 365ers use and a new version of this camera I just purchased has been notified to me about 5 mins ago by email..............
Well I have cropped him but he was big! I've read the basic guide to the camera and it seems operating it will be easier than assembling the bits and pieces!!
I haven't seen golden rod for years - my Auntie had some in her garden. Lovely capture of this bee with great detail Hazel. Good luck with your new camera. I'm sure you will enjoy it
Thanks Rosie for comments on pic and new camera - I'm really looking forward to using it. (Even if the makers have just bought out the next version with - wait for it - 60 x zoom!!)
It makes me wonder sometimes why we buy these expensive cameras....I have pretty much given up on using manual etc just can't be bothered!!
This is a case in point a beautiful photo from a fairly ordinary camera...lovely Hazel!
Sorry Hazel that sounds very negative when you have just bought a new one....I do love my Cannon but when I am busy it's just easier to shoot in auto!
Fantastic close up- Its the photographers eye that sees things and the most wonderful result is if the camera produces exactly what you wanted to capture. Most of the times its a lot of rubbish but other times its just that shot you wanted and this is reagardles of the camera I think. Its a very lovely shot
Love all the yellow in this shot Hazel :)

I have a feeling that the yellow in this shot is the same plant as in your bee shot? Tall stems and flat flowerheads - golden rod?

I understand what you say and I'm going to have to make a big effort! But this is only a small step up from my P&S so fingers crossed!!
After a few day`s you don`t think about the cost only the new possibilities
I definitely agree, Karin, that the photographer's eye is the most important. Thank you for your comments!
