Back Blip # 1

We are back on-line.  This is a good thing and a bad thing.  Lots and lots of catch-up work to do.

This is another of our native bees.  If the blue bands bees are hard to [photograph these are nigh on impossible.  It's on a salvia flower, so you can get a good idea of the size of this tiny lass.  They dart around manically, and only settle for a split second. 

So if you do get a shot, you thank your lucky stars when it's more or less acceptable.
