I went a bit overboard taking #PHOTOS of the last night's #Sahara sunset! So, here's another ... It was lovely of the egret to come out for a little night fishing, exactly as I started taking snaps. I did have a heck of a time keeping all those horizontals straight tho! #NatureIsMagic #photographs

Schönes Wochenende 💛

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.

The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.

Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

A golden sunset at the bottom of the frame with small contrasting clouds tapering upwards from the middle to top of the frame.

This amazing weather has produced exceptional warm days for early March. Sunsets to match.

“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

The photo captures a violet carpenter bee (Xylocopa violacea) foraging on a grape hyacinth (Muscari), a classic early-spring pairing that signals the season’s awakening. The star of the image is unmistakably a violet carpenter bee, one of the largest bee species in Europe. Its dense, jet-black fur is absolutely dusted with golden pollen granules, a testament to its industrious foraging, and the dark, slightly iridescent wings are clearly visible folded along its back. The bee clings closely to the flower stem, its bristly legs and abdomen pressing against the blooms to maximize pollen collection. The early timing makes sense: violet carpenter bees emerge from winter hibernation in wood tunnels as early as late February or March in mild weather, making this a wonderfully early spring encounter. The grape hyacinth spike provides a perfect compositional anchor, its classic cone shape shows the characteristic gradient from tightly closed, pale greenish-white buds at the tip down to fully opened blue-violet bell flowers below. Muscari are among the very first flowers of spring and provide crucial early nectar and pollen for pollinators emerging after winter, when food sources are still scarce. The shallow depth of field beautifully isolates the bee-on-bloom against the soft, blurred greens of the Muscari leaves, with a hint of a second flower spike in the left background adding natural depth. The warm, raking sidelight brings out every hair on the bee’s body and makes the pollen dust glow. The perspective, close, lateral, and at flower height, is exactly right for this kind of insect-on-bloom macro work, giving the viewer an intimate window into a fleeting moment of early spring pollination.

Good morning everyone and happy #BlueTue!
