Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Birds n Bees

Posted on May 27, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….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.

Last Day of September

Posted on October 1, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….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.
