Bumbling Around

Buff-tailed Bumble bee on Sea Pink at Belhaven Bay. These bright and tough flowers are approaching the end of their season and I've been meaning to get a shot of them. When I noticed the bees on this clump, I got up close & personal for this shot.

I took a long way round to collect Katie from nursery before lunch, then had to run to collect her after spending too much time with the bees! Later on we were playing Alphabet Lotto when I realised I was late for Gordon coming out as well. Rubbish parenting. Anyway, no harm done & a play in the park to compensate.
