Life is Funny...

Life is Funny...
Life is funny. Yesterday I was stung by a yellow jacket and today I am posting a photo of a honey bee :)) Isn't he cute?! Honey bees I like very much but yellow jackets are just aggressive and so very rude. It made me think of the lyrics to this 70s classic.

♪♫ Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey ♫ ♪


So...for Sight and Sound:

Ten Years After from their album "A Space in Time" (1971)

I'm fine, grazie, Adele. :)

We have had a really nice October this year and the bees are still active. This little guy almost had more than he could carry.

A beautiful capture Karen and the detail and colours are superb. I hope you have recovered from your sting - your description made me laugh - aggressive and rude! A delightful musical match and a new one on me. Our first warm day after several days of rain and almost summery now. Enjoy your week

Thanks, Carol. Glad you like the description. I have other words for them too. :))

This was actually my second sting this year. The first one really hurt but this one wasn't so bad.

Perfect timing! I don't like yellow jackets either.

Thanks, Esther. I wonder why anyone would like them? They're so mean. I suppose they have their purpose though like most things in nature.

A perfect catch! The bee already carries a lot of pollen and seems about to land to get more:-)
I hope the sting heals well and you aren't suffering any adverse reactions.

Fabulous shot, Karen!
I'm surprised you experience the yellow jackets as aggressive and rude. In recent years I have come very close to them while taking photographs, but have never been attacked by them.

Karen's Place club has replied to * ઇଓ * club
Thank you, * ઇઉ * It was surprising to me too. I've never had a problem with them either. They attack without provocation this year. :(

That's strange and sad, Karen, but in nature, nothing happens without a reason.
I think (not only) yellow jackets have been provoked by us for years (use of toxins against insects, etc., with the consequence of lack of food as one of many possible causes...

Karen, for the group # Frontpage Photography # , I would like to ask you to allow the download for the picture. Thank you.

I agree. Nature usually has a good reason for what it does. I just wish they wouldn't take it out on me. ;-)

That's a great flying catch, Karen. A good musical link too. I don't know yellow jackets, it sounds as though they're similar to our wasps.

Karen's Place club has replied to tiabunna club
Yes, that's right. They are a kind of wasp.

Thanks, George. :)

A stunning and magical photo, Karen. Top flight camera skills :-) Surely this should be on the front cover of a Nature magazine! Hope you have recovered from the sting. A clever musical match :-) Had kinda forgotten about Ten Years After. Classic music. Can't believe it was 48 years ago!

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

"Top flight skills" I like that. Thanks, Roger! :)

Yes, this song is still so amazing. Alvin Lee's guitar work is incredible! Here's a fun link for you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vgUj8n8e3U
