Portraits of a Bumble Bee


These probably would have been easier to capture if I had a macro lens but all I had was my 50mm. Bees don't like to pose in mid air.
After seeing Sistertex's Face of the Week I've decided that the little face in the bottom photo will be my enty. If you have a face photo or want to see other's check out Sistertex's Face of the Week meme.

A Reflection of a Nice Day (Weekend Reflections #33)

Mr. Fluffbottom's Neighborhood



I saw these sheep last week while I was walking around in the same area where I took the last Weekend Reflections picture and the picture of the white and red mill with the squares and rectangles. My first thought was of my blogger friend Sunny at (Barnyards and Barnacles). Then I noticed that all but one of them were ignoring me. So I asked the one that was looking my way to smile for the camera. It looks like Mr Fluffbottom has a sense of humor because he stuck out his tongue instead. I also took a picture of the sheep's house. On top of the tree covered hill to the right of the barn is a structure called Bowman's Tower.
Sunny posts so many wonderful photos of barns and barnyard animals plus all sorts of other interesting things . She's also an excellent poet. In a recent post she said that the black and white photo project at my Something Sighted blog has inspired her to start posting more black and white photos. I look forward to seeing them.
