Aug 20, 2017 – WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Ooh, Shiny!

Clare, Ireland, taken on June 12, 2017

Ooh, Shiny! Buzz – oh look, it’s a bee! Bees always manage to catch my attention, often sidetracking me from wherever I am going. They are such graceful creatures and their romance with flowers is one of the most elegant things in the world. When they stay still and pose for me cooperatively, I can’t help but admire the wonders and powers of nature. Beautiful!

I’ve lost count of how many photos of bees I’ve posted on this blog but they really are one of my favourite subjects to photograph, especially ones that are so cooperative that they could be captured nicely with my phone, like these two. Aren’t they just lovely creatures?
