More Bees
Took some more time out to grab some more snaps of the bumblebees working the lavender today. Like the snaps I took yesterday, I used my “gardening lens” – a rather battered 90mm f/2.5 Tamron prime macro between f/8 and f/11, attached to my Lumix DMC GX7 µ4/3 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.
Weird as it sounds I have grown rather fond of these fuzzy buzzy little critters. I even feel a ‘sense of loss’ when one falls in the pond, and I’m too late to save her. And my day doesn’t seem complete without going outside several times and checking that they are OK. Must be some deep psychological shot going on that’s far beyond my powers of understanding. But I love having them round and the soft buzzing sound they make as they work the lavender bushes in the English summer sun.
