Bumblebee in flight

I love how this Buff-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) is targeting its intended landing spot with its eyes and also how the thistles below bursting into seed are exploding like fireworks.

    Such a lovely image of the humble bumble.....
    Thistles get a bad press but birds bees and butterflies love them....I do allow them to grow in the copse for that very reason.

    Well captured Tim! I wish there were light enough here for such photo's - in fact I wish it were warm enough for some bees!!!
