Hi all 😃 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by André of Solaner: Summer Vibes.
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 😁
For us, it’s getting out & about on our bikes…
…in all weathers ☔️

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 😁.
Hi all 😁. My entry for Terri’s Sunday Stills challenge: Close-up. This was a fun one; I never knew butterflies were so fluffy!!!
This last one is my favourite, you can see the sky reflected in his eye.
With the sun out, it was another busy day at our hibiscus hedge. It was that busy, the insect life was almost having to form a line at the blossoms. A couple of days ago, it was mostly bees; today, the butterflies got in on the action, sharing the blooms with bees and hoverflies.
