Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Birds n Bees
….thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts
Some of my favourite subjects for photography are bees on flowers and birds. I find photographing birds more difficult because I can’t get close enough with my iPhone and I need to use my ‘big’ camera with the telephoto lens. I don’t always have the camera with me because it is awkward and heavy but when I do it takes superior shots of birds.
Tuesday Textures – Wasp Nest

Papery and fragile:

Here are a few more close-ups from earlier in the week.
Last Day of September
….busy day today
The lawn bowling club is prepping the grass for next season and the chairs and carpets were stacked and rolled up and put into storage for the winter. On my way back to the car I noticed that the wildflowers and were throwing off their fluffy seed heads and the bees were busy collecting the last bits of nectar.

I’m a Fan of…..Bees

Like Jez I’m also a fan of bees, especially photographing bees. I’m not a fan of wasps but was recently reminded that they are also pollinators and need to be protected as well. Having been stung by wasps and hornets in the past I have to admit that when they make entertaining or eating outside difficult I don’t rush to their aid when they get trapped inside any empty soda bottle. I’ve also had to destroy wasp nests that started to grow on the underside of our roof and on the inside of our cottage. Sorry if this offends anyone but I’m not taking the risk of having my family and guests stung by these aggressive little creatures. I am, however, open to any suggestions of how to keep wasps from building their nests on my property. Those paper nests that are suppose to keep wasps away don’t seem to work.
