Bumble-blog

Bumblebee Spurred on by recent macro photography exploits at cakesniffers and ship creak I wandered around the garden looking for suitable subjects.

Now I am one great big jessy when in comes to insects - as Mrs. edwaado and the little edwaados can testify - so I was not without some trepidation that I took these pics. (You might like to know that I actually took around 15, most of the blurred and out of focus due to my preferred technique of holding the camera at arms length whilst looking the other way)

They're excellent!

I know what you mean about these things: you feel all brave because you've got your camera to protect you, but as soon as they so much as twitch, you run a mile!

Great pictures.

I don't mind insects it's rodents and snakes that I run from. However, having said that I was holding a frog yesterday and threw the octopus that got caught in the prawn trap back in the ocean.

Thanks April.
Don't supposed you snapped the octopus? That would be cool.
