I can't believe how I still have flowers on my butterfly bushes after the morning frosts we've had. There are still a few bees hanging around. They move slow because of the cold, so it's a perfect opportunity to practice my macro shots.

Have a wonderful day Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo

I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism and tips on how to improve my novice photography skills are always welcomed.

The Monardas (Bee balms) at the park were losing their petals and dying; this one was the better one.

Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋‍♀️

Thank you for your visit !

More bees visiting my garden this summer than in the past few years. A good thing! Judging by the white spots on his face, I'm guessing that this a male Carpenter Bee.

I think I got that the right way round! Anyway a Bee that pretends to be a wasp.

Bee photos, these are becoming increasingly hard to get, especially here in Essex. Many of the gardens I visit have had a real decrease in numbers. On my walks into the countryside Buddleja, Thistle and other wild flowers there is hardly anything. Is there a cure?

The Rhododendrons are currently keeping the bees very busy. There's more blossoms this year than I've ever seen.

This bee was busy in the flower and fell out on his back in his hurry. Thanks for looking and happy weekend!
