Honey Bee on Verbena 0

Honey Bee Photo

For some reason, depsite the flowers on offer, our honey bees are rarley seen foraging in our garden. It’s nice when we do see them though and a good opportunity to snap them in action. I quite like this shot of one of them feeding on some Verbena.

Ynyslas Groynes

Just some pretty pictures of the Groynes at Ynyslas from our beach photo walk on Sunday, I hope you like them. We should get out for photo-walks in the local area more really as it’s always nice to spend time outside and to get some good photos for the weblog in the process. It’s surprising...
