Cornflowers

Hello again,  been a bit busy here so no blog posts for most of the month.  However I am hoping to get on here more over the next two months.   Summer hols are great for catching up.   Also I have been so inspired by lots of people recently so I am desperate to do some art!    So starting today I am going to try and do something for me every day!   Fingers crossed.

Anyway cornflowers,  I have a lovely group of them by my front fence and I sat for half an hour and got these amazing photographs.   I love the blue,  and the contrasting colours of the insects.
Wonderful bee eyes

    Thank you for your lovely comments on the Hope post. I am so glad to find another lover of bees. Lucky you seeing the miner bee.

    We are lucky as we are also visited by a lot of bees, mainly red and white tailed bumbles and solitary bees; as well as a small number of honey bees from a local hive.

    They love majoram flowers, ignoring the lavender, and this small patch is the noisiest in the garden.

    Nice to 'meet' you, Charlotte

    Beautiful flowers, bees and images! I especially love the detail of the bee's wings in the first image. Delicate looking, yet amazingly strong.

    Cornflowers are among my favorite flowers. In the U.S. they are also called batchelor's buttons. I have them growing in my garden as well. Excellent close up of the bee!
