More little things in life
Delighting in Our World
Nice bees Sue!
Best wishes, Pete.
I hope they were happy bees…there were absolutely loads of them, but too fast for me most of the time!
Yummy!
😀😀
When it is ready invite me …
😀
We are having special days for bees this summer here. Remembering how much they mean to the earth and to us humans. Without them we would last about 5 years on this earth…then there would be (bee) nothing for us left to eat. It’s the little things that counts. Lovely shots!
We need our bees, and I was pleased to see so many….
Me too.
🙂
Nice capture, Sue. I love the buzzing of bees and the smell of lavender. 🙂
The scent of lavender….
Sorry……scent not smell. 😳😄
Oh, sorry, Sylvia – I was just musing, not criticising!
I know that. I was just pulling your string. 😘
☺️
I can smell it from here, Sue 🙂 Fabulous!
Excellent!
What a wonderful title for this post – and hallelujah! bees! They’ve been ins jort supply around the vegie garden at home.
Well, this is the thing…I have definitely been seeing fewer bees around my garden, but there were absolutely loads on this lavender at the Walled Garden….
Things that make my world special…
Great 🙂
Wonderful capture of the bees against the beautiful purple.
Yes, I was pleased with the dreamy lilac/mauve colour in the second shot!
Awwww, they are just beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous captures of these cuties on the Lavender flowers Sue. I love Lavender as well and it’s my favourite colour too. 😀 ♥
Oh, great, glad you enjoyed my bees! And your favourite colour, too, Sonel 🙂
There is actually a smell coming from your pictures.
A scent or a stink, Björn?! 😳
Lovely images Sue and good to hear they are doing well in this walled garden. Same problems here with drastically reduced population but there hives just in the wood just next door to us in the wood and so our garden is full of bees. The local beekeeper gives us honey from time to time and it’s amazing because it actually smells of our garden!
How wonderful to have the fragrance of your garden in a pot of honey!
🙂
I love the images and the concept!! lavender and honey how heavenly!
Thank you, Cybele!
The photos are so sharp I could imagine the scent wafting out from them
Thank you, Pauline! I took these on a warm, sunny morning….today it is dull and drizzle-laden Ugh
How very beautiful! The promise of sweet scented honey is added bonus 🙂
It was a lovely scene!
I have been getting tons of bees here; all different kinds. I was going to pull most of the oregano out as we are having drought conditions, it’s mildly invasive plus I’m not all that crazy about oregano. But when I counted five distinctly different bees attacking the oregano flowers I left it in – at least until a blue thistle comes out – it’s very fragrant but you can’t get close enough to smell it for fear of inhaling bees…. Great shots of lavender – the depth of field makes it magical.
Thanks! Magical was what I was striving for….
I love lavender. Such beautiful photos. Lavender always reminds me of my grandmother who insisted on only using lavender scented soap and bath salts and would exchange any other flavour she got as a present.
🙂
