An exhausted bee feeding on sugar water I put out for him. He flew away a very happy chap a few moments later.

Found this beetle whilst walking in the lomond hills today.

Doing what everyone does when they first get a macro lens. Bugs and teeny tiny flowers:)

This little whirlwind was flitting in the flowers all day today, they move so lightning fast it is not easy to get a photo!

My favorite shades of blue.

That's my best general guess. ID anyone? It's about the same size as a honeybee.

It's sipping nectar from Sea Lavender.

Coccinelle, demoiselle

Où t’en vas-tu donc ?

Je m’en vais dans le soleil

Car c’est là qu’est ma maison.

Bonjour, bonjour, dit le soleil,

Il fait chaud et il fait bon.

Le monde est plein de merveilles

Il fait bon se lever tôt.

captured this swallowtail on the butterfly bush this summer. At one point the bush was swarming with these butterflies! As the sun began to go down in the evenings, it was a sight to behold.
