    Oh wow, Diane. Every image is a treat for the eyes. But the lizard resting on its own tail, takes the cake. Thank you for a beautiful post. Greetings Jo

    I'm really admiring the shots you got of the bumble bee. They are so detailed you can see even see their hairs.

    There's nothing common about that 'blue' Diane, it's a beautiful colour. I took some macros over the weekend, not nearly as fab 😀
