Sleeping

Sleeping
There is was a bee asleep below this Globe Thistle. It was a rather dark day for photography and I admit that despite World Photography Day being on my mind for days earlier in the week I never thought on it on the day but at least I did take a photograph and so can join in.

I had hoped to take a photograph of a Butterfly something I did manage the next day.

Eric Desjours, Erhard Bernstein, trester88, Bergfex and 9 other people have particularly liked this photo

A lovely capture Colin........the detail in the thistles is excellent and although the bee is in the shadows, it's definitely there! I like the dark out-of-focus background.

Beautiful detail and colours Colin. A super shot. Love the bokeh and the sleepy bee is a bonus

Dark days often produce the best images bright sun can be to harsh, they are like magnets to bees

yes they are and we hope the Sedum will flower and have a similar result - I think Red Admiral Butterflies like them as well as the bees

I had to look twice to spot the little bee ;-) Great, like a bracelet it encircles the stem of the flower...

Even though not what you were hoping for, this is a lovely photo and does include a winged creature! I really like the gentle light in the photo.

Isn't it interesting how life can get in the way of our best intentions? These days I need big reminders to remember all the many details of my life (and my husband's).

Happy World Photography Day!
