Not Quite Dracula...

I recently had some inspiration after looking on one of the blogs that I follow, I saw a picture of a Blood sucker as most people call them or "Rhagonycha fulva" if you want to me technical but I challenge anyone to try and pronounce it, colse up these insects have very distinct little faces and can produce an effective picture if all goes well. Although I struggled due to the face I have no macro lens, I like to think that at ,lease one might have turned out ok, Lets see what you think:-

And now my personal favourite,

Buzz Off And Don't "BEE" Awkward...

....
Well as you probably guessed, I decided to try and do some Bee photography yesterday as it was such a glorious day, the sun was shining and the bees were buzzing. As this year the Bees are in such decline, my Mum decided that she would replant the whole garden with all kinds of weird, wonderful and colourful flowers but the one area which they liked the best was a large Lavender plant in our front garden, ever time I come home I have a quick Scan to see how they are doing, and I was delighted the other day to find five different types of Bee enjoying this plants resources, also on the plant I found numerous spider, wasps and three different butterflies but I'll leave then for another blog...
....
So here we go Buzzy Bumble Bees, I hope that you like them...


Bees
And Last but not least this one which is probable
my favourite for some reason.




Anyway once again I hope that you liked my "blog" and that you will visit again,

Thanks always Lee Harrison

Photography....

Okay, so I have decided to take different route with my sigh, rather than just been a blog sight, I am going to change it into more of a photography sight, rather than having lots of different pictures of Birds, Moths, Butterflies and insects, I will go out to take pictures of a more specific selection of creatures and try and get good pictures of them.
....

So here We go, I didn't have much time to go out last week so I was house sitting, so I decided to spend a lot in the garden photographing everyday creatures that so many people take for advantage and don't appreciate what they do for the ecosystem and even for our lives and this is what I started:-

Wasps


Peek-a-Boo
After a few to many pictures, I think this one
got a bit camera shy...
These flight shots were some of the hardest pictures that I have had to take,
they could be better but I like to think that
they ain't to bad
....
Anyway I hope that you like my new kind of pictures and that you will visit again, if you have any suggestions on how you think I can improve it please let my know,
Thanks always Lee Harrison
