With leaves falling from the trees and the skies having been grey for the past week, I felt the need to share this close-up image of a bee collecting pollen from a flower. I thought we could all do with a dash of colour.
You could be forgiven for thinking I have a thing about bees. This is the second ‘bee’ photograph I have posted on the blog in recent months but this particular bee was so obliging and the image so detailed I felt the need to share it.
I took this photograph of a bee collecting pollen on a brief visit to a National Trust property called Emmets Garden. Having recently published an image of a flower taken in poor lighting conditions, I wanted to see what I could do on a sunny day.
I have become a little obsessed with nature photography over recent weeks. I’ve spent ages and ages on some nearby common land taking photographs of insect life, including this bee collecting pollen.
Last Sunday I took my children out for the afternoon to a nearby petting farm. It was a gloriously sunny day and I came across a patch of land that seemed to have been sown with meadow grass.
