I recently took the plunge & got my long wished for DSLR
Still getting used to it really but have been having lots of fun taking photos of my favourite things mostly bees of course & some butterflies so I thought I’d share some here (hamstergram family will have seen most already).

I haven’t done many birds yet, looking forward to more but this robin struck a pose for me that I couldn’t resist.

My favourite end of season photo, one of the very last queen bees I saw & for me this just caught that sense of summer fading away.

This beautiful carder bee was a bit cold & tired & stopped for a rest on a very prickly borage bed!

One of my favourite tiny hoverflies, Melanostoma scalare, I love watching these but they don’t keep still for long so I was lucky with this one.

And finally this was just a bit of fun, not as sharp as I’d like but with nothing much happening in the garden other than wind & rain I had to have a go, rain drops on borage.
