FRIENDLY CHALLENGES

Carpenter bees (Xylocopa) are solitary bees (similar to mason and leafcutter bees), and their excavation efforts involve creating a tunnel to raise their brood. Fortunately, they are exceedingly docile as the males don't sting at all, and you practically have to squish the female between your fingers to elicit a reaction.
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
We have had a really hot dry summer this year and a lot of my plants have suffered but my geraniums have flowered their little socks off and the Bees have loved it.
I was just passing by, walking along in the village of Oberndorf in Lower Bavaria (Niederbayern). We were complete strangers. But I broke the ice by offering the horses a couple of juicy plums from a tree beyond the electric fence. From that moment on we were the best of friends. I posted one image of these two back in 2018, but I like this one too. [FUJI8598_lr_2000]

Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
When your subject takes a couple steps forward and decides to fold her arms, you know she trusts you. Shortly after she dozed off. Wish every Bobcat would do this. Lol!
Re uploaded with the correct white balance as promised.
When exiting the water the surfer clocked me (Steven ) lol and looked straight into my lens and waved and smiled which made my day....a bit of friendliness goes a very long way....
I didn't have a long lens with me so used the longest I had at the time which happened to be a Sigma 105mm Macro Lens but it did the job...
Taken Autumn 2020 between lockdowns..
Please forgive any late thank you comments as my weekend was horrible...just trying to get my head straight again but I really do thank you all for your continued support and encouragement... Sue x
Ps Flickr is exceptionally slow and I keep getting bad panda page...I went on the discussions and left a comment as apparently it is becoming an issue yet again.
Beautiful fox who befriended us and lived in our garden, she would sleep next to us in the garden and pop into the kitchen for a treat.
Only one of all the Red-backed Shrikes I saw at the Cristei Meadow was brave and friendly enough to approach me.
The blue heron was very skittish and lifted his head to get ready to take off while the duck was at ease looking for some duckweed or some other green food !!
This friendly Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) was rescued (I believe from a fur farm) and is now housed at the BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.
She shares her enclosure with another Red Fox, Raven, who has a unique black and white marble colouring (will upload photos of her later on).
The Long-tailed Tits are probably the friendliest member of the family. They are also quite pretty, so it makes it a very pleasant bird to photograph. Also, thanks to Bogdan Tilvaru for taking me on the expedition to Merișor Forest Natural Park.
