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.
Time and again I have said that flowers make for superb photographic subjects. When I saw this rose at the Italian garden at Hever castle, I was simply drawn to it. The colours really stood out and the arrangement of the petals look incredibly ornate. I had no idea what variety of rose it was
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.
