Looks like summer, but looks can be deceiving; these following shots were all taken a few years ago when my wife & I were staying in Malibu & Santa Monica. We were there in February, although it looks like summer.
Summer here means lots of green…
As well as lots of flowers for the butterflies & bees.
Summer is bright blue skies & yellow sands; we’re fortunate to have much quieter beaches
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).
This week’s Fan Of… is the camera on my new iPhone. My wife’s & my iPhone SEs were over 5 years old & the update support for them was soon to stop. With that in mind, we traded our old phones in, as well as some other tech we no longer used & got a couple of (almost) new iPhone SEs (second gen). The main feature I was looking forward to trying out was the camera; there have been quite significant advances in phone camera technology over the last 5 years, & I was not disappointed. Here are just some of the shots I’ve taken with my new phone.
Just to clarify; the bee isn’t called Mon. Mon is the scots abreviation for Come On. I was out for a walk when I saw some wild roses alongside the path; most of the flowers have gone now, but there were still a few blooms left. I went to get a closer look at this particular flower and saw that a large bee had taken up residence in the middle of it. Whilst he was busy collecting what he could, he was getting constantly hassled by a couple of hover flies that wanted in on the action; but he wasn’t budging, mon the bee.
