Leave It All Bee-hind

 

Another image of a bee on our lavender - probably one of my favourites - and I final reminder of the summer as we move into autumn. 

Ill Bee-haviour

This really is the last of these bee images. For now.

Bee - Don't Try to Bee-Come

Another image of a bee-on-a-smoke-tree.

Bee-ing for the Benefit of Mr Kite

Another image of a bee on one of our smoke trees and another might fine pun as a title.

As an aside, there was some sad news this week - Olympus has sold its imaging division to a private equity firm, in a move that has been widely interpreted as an end to the brand as a force in consumer photography.

It also highlights my continuing, unerring ability to pick a loser. For a while now, I've been thinking of moving away from Sony and the obvious course, given that I already own a Pen F, was to replace my Alpha 77 with an OM-D M1. I suppose I should be glad that this news has broken before I need to make the move.

Back to the drawing board, I guess.

Bee-ing And Nothingness

Yet another image of a bee, on what I believe to be a smoke tree, of which there are a couple in our garden.

The Unbearable Lightness of Bee-ing

Right, enough of that tulip nonsense. Its's that time of the year when insects return to the garden, so here's an image of a bee. More to follow.

Lift Off!

A bee lifting off from one of the lavender plants in the hedge the borders the lawn in our garden.

In this second image, the bee's wings are moving too fast to be captured.

He Bee II

There's still more where this came from...

He Bee

Another image of an insect in our garden - I'm not sure that it's a bee, to be honest, but it is on a Hebe.

Good Bee-haviour

Yet another image of a bee on our lavender. I was on a bit of a roll that day (aka having my eye in).

Bee Here Now

Yet another image of a bee on lavender in our garden.

Bee-lieve

Another image of a bee made in our garden.

Spanish Bee

A bee on one of the Spanish bluebells (that were) in our garden.

Heatwave!

Another image from Mottisfont. You should bear in mind that this was February, during the "heat wave".

Bee Amazed

Despite the cold, there was a bumble bee buzzing about during our Lytes Cary trip.

Tintinhull: Insects

A few weeks ago we went to Tintinhull as a kind of end-of-the-summer outing on the grounds that we were all back in work, school, college, whatever. I'd somehow managed to get Tintinhull and Lytes Cary mixed up in my head, so I don't know what I was expecting, but I got some decent images in any case, some including insects, which were still about at that time.

Fly-Chive

Another mini-beast on the chives in our garden.

However, Comma

A comma butterfly on the chives in our garden.

May Bee

Enough with the insect photos, already.

Hedge Brown Eyes

A hedge brown butterfly in our garden.
