Ask me about travel in Ireland or about photography in Ireland.
Nature is strange, here I was marvelling at the allium flowers just opened, and thinking about photographing them, when I spotted what at first appeared to be ladybirds of some kind.
But they were unlike any ladybird I had ever seen, they were brown, white and yellow without spots and not particularly shiny.
We might be restricted right now from moving too far from home but if you have a garden, balcony or window box then and some flowers then the chances are you have bees visiting.
Here the white-tailed bumblebee Bombus lucorum sits on rosemary flowers on a sunny day. I wrote about bumblebees back in February in regards to the traditional start of Irish Spring, Saint Brigid's Day.
Keep an eye out for more bee images to come here on Panoramic Ireland.
After the Coronavirus pandemic join one of Panoramic Ireland's photography tours and workshops in the Irish countryside to learn how to photograph waterfalls, the coast, people and wildlife.
Join me on an online photography session to learn how to photograph better and learn how to organise and edit your images.
It makes me think of this quote from On the Road by Jack Kerouac:
“All he needed was a wheel in his hand and four on the road.”
