Fluffiest bee award in my garden goes to this tiny Common Carder bumble bee. Even the small cosmos flowers- the last of the season- are sought after. Flowers open smaller as the season winds down. And the bees should surely hibernate soon.
Cosmos Antiquity seed- sown in February this year. Still in flower October 19.

I was taking photos last year, up close with the iPhone. I didn’t realize until I stepped back and checked the image that a bee had photobombed the picture, hovering right next to the Turtlehead (flower) that I was capturing. It was pretty cool!

I love that about taking pictures. You never really know what it’s going to turn out like. And I love surprises like yours. Makes me smile too.

Thank you Steve. Not yet. It’s just an i-phone. When I’m better, I’m going shopping for a real camera. But for now, I always have the camera phone in my pocket so it’s nice just to snap things when I see them and post them immediately. Haven’t got time to edit or mess about with filters. I’m so enjoying the autumn- having spent the summer tucked up in bed- either hospital or home. The colours are glorious here. x

What a stunning photo! I’ve been enjoying watching them today too as they’ve feasted on the remains of Persicaria Firetail.

thank you Kate. Aren’t we lucky still to have good weather. Every sunny day is a bonus. I’m determined to be outdoors as much as possible. Soon enough be huddled round the fire 🙂
