So many flowers, so little time
I sat by a row of lavender that my mum has in her garden and I was watching all the buggers eating like there is no tomorrow. Bees, flies, butterflies, wasps, beetles, bumblebees... I probably missed some. It was like a busy dinner during free lunchtime.
This one was easy to shoot. Bumblebees are slower than bees and don't get scared as easily as butterflies. A nice photo object overall. Plus the big eyes, fluffy body and nice colours. This was just one of many that was flying around.
All that made me want to have lavender on my balcony too. The little purple flowers, the aroma and hope that some insects (except aphids) will want to come and pose for me. I took small rooted plant from my mum and planted it.
So far so good :)

Thank you.
Bumblebee is a little lazy as well, if you disturb them they fly off and return quite soon to the flower, not wishing to look further they found what they want @ewkaw
Awesome photography in in lavender bushes, must have been a fun place to spend some time.
Thank you very much :)
That lavender was just so awesome! Took so many photos of different insects... Plus it smelled amazing :)
So hairy! :D
I wanna pet it!
Bumblebee is very good.
I tried yesterday to catch a bumblebee in macro ...
Bumblebee, of course, is not an ant ... but in macro mode ... few decent shots :))
A nice, big, fat bumblebee is way better than skinny ants :D
Yes, there is something to look at, a lot of hair and makeup :)))
haha :D
Great photos!
Thank you :)
