This was the best I could do, today – using the FujiFilm FinePix A607 camera on macro. I had trouble photographing these native blue-banded bees before. I’m hoping their cousin, the teddy-bear bee, turns up too.  I introduced both bees back in February. I was really excited then as it was my first sighting of these big bees.

I prefer my Nokia Lumia 520 windows phone for taking macro images, but the battery is flat. 😮 I have trouble getting the FinePix lined up right.

I’m sorry I’ve neglected you all. Take care. ❤

Taken on my walk this morning and sent from my Nokia Lumia 530 Windows Phone.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend. 😊
