Calne (Saturday 15th June 2019)

As I was wandering back from town through the Town Gardens I noticed lots of bees pollinating the crane's-bills. As bees on flowers are a popular subject for blippers I thought I would try for a nice macro of one. After several minutes failing miserably I had a new found admiration for those same blippers. Of course I was hampered by having an entirely inappropriate camera for the task, and a lack of patience for the bees whose time on each flower was slightly less than the focusing time needed. Also the low light levels didn't help with image clarity on the micro four-thirds sensor. Anyway, my favourite image of the bunch shows the geraniums nicely but is absent of bee.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Kate Bush - Cloudbusting (The Organon Remix) (1985)
This seemed appropriate after the apocalyptic levels of rain this week, plus this afternoon I played The Other Sides disc of 12" Mixes with it on.
