Pity the Blue-Banded Bee doesn’t visit more often. Spotted this single one, yesterday. It wouldn’t keep still. (Nikon D3000)



Thanks for looking. Do take care.

Since I mentioned kangaroos the other day, I thought I better go out and find some. Yesterday was a dull, mist-edged morning and the ‘roos were up the back paddocks, as I expected. I couldn’t be bothered going up the side lane for closer shots – another day, for sure. Instead, I let the zoom lens on the Nikon D3000 do its work.

A trio of busy bees. (Nikon D3000)


The photos are a bit hard to look at, but do support the busyness of the bees. I decided to share them because I was surprised the lens managed to focus on all three – but I suppose that’s how depth settings work. If I ever do the Udemy Photography course I purchased, ages ago, I’ll learn more. And then there’s my ‘Nikon D3000 for Dummies’ book. Reading is not doing. I have no excuses, except it’s easier to let the camera do the work. That’s me though, I’ll always take the easier road!
We’ve just entered Stage 3 of our pandemic restrictions – indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to two people, though the five for weddings and ten for funerals still stand. Of course, family groups, or flatmates, can still go outside together. On arrival, international travellers are being locked in hotels for their 14-day quarantine. The Melbourne ones are fortunate, as they have the 5-star luxury of the Crown Casino’s accommodation. In Sydney, a fellow was on the news this morning, not happy, but at least he had a bit of a view. His room was plain, all white, and very small. Still, he has only another 13 days to go. It’s amazing how all of them believe they are well and virus-free. No-one can be sure.
The Government are telling us that the curve has begun to flatten, and entering Stage 3 will keep it that way – not to stop the virus, but to keep cases at a manageable level so the hospitals aren’t overwhelmed.

We’re shopping once a fortnight, at the moment. Yet to see a toilet roll since the panic-buying began, but I haven’t gone in early.
Take care, and do have a good day.
