The last hints of summer, and I decided to photograph the one and only sunflower in that I managed to grow in my garden. Huge amount of slugs and snails this year. As I was doing this a bumble bee arrived looking for pollen, and I got these shots. I had to get up very close to the bee, and I was a bit worried I was going to get my nose stung.
Beautiful sunflower! I have got non this year. Happy weekend. Regula

ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Watching bees in almost mesmerizing. He was probably more interested in gathering his pollen than stinging your nose!.
