Thank you Indira! I was enjoying watching the bees make the most of the sedum and a nearby thyme.

I think the bumblebees might be my favorites — probably because they’re so furry and cute. Occasionally I come across plants that have attracted them in large numbers, and your’re right — that buzzing is more than noticeable!

They seem to be such gentle little creatures too – my own favourite garden wildlife, along with blackbirds and robins. 🙂

This will sound weird but whoa you can see that bee’s eyes. I mean I know bees obviously have eyes but here are two blue ones. I imagined they had compound fly eyes but when I zoomed in two big ones showed up. Maybe a trick of the light. I have never actually considered bee eyes before.

I think the blue is actually the reflection of the blue sky…and there’s even a dark shape that must be me in one. (Or else it’s my imagination, hehe!)

Thank you Syd! You’ve no idea how much your kind comment has delighted me! I hope that my bee photos will continue to improve and that my garden will also improve as a safe refuge and good home for them. 🙂
