Photo Competition

I've decided to have another attempt at a photo competition and have entered the following photos, so fingers crossed!!  I'm really not holding out much hope of having a winner, but it's fun to take part!!  Here's what I've entered:

Single Puffin

Aberlady Bay

Collecting Nectar

Ruffled Feathers

Chasing Bumble Bees

I've been playing with my camera again and have been chasing bumble bees in the garden as they try to collect nectar from the flowers.  I just hope that one of these days they don't get too angry and try to chase me!!  Here are the results of my efforts:

Brief Respite from the Rain!!

We've had rain then sunshine and now more rain today - the 1st of July and it's supposed to be summer!!

While the sun was out, I was out too with the camera - here are some of the better shots!!

Wonder if he's having a drink as well?

Bumble Bees

Although it's been a bit colder this week, the bees and insects are on the go, and this large Bumble Bee was flying about gathering nectar from the flowers today.  I think these are fairy lucky shots, but I'm quite pleased with them, so thought I'd just share!!
