What was more fun was a wasp of some description was buzzing between plants, never had a shot, but it was in the viewfinder at least once :)

Thank you Brian. They are cute hovers. I think the shots are of a female and a male.

I must get back there to see if I capture better comp'd shots and get that wasp. :cool:

Thank you Snowy, much appreciated.

I cropped that bumble, I was not sure if the full image worked. It is on the flickr site if you want to see it. Those lavender plants don't make for easy lighting though.
