The common cormorant or shag,
Lays its eggs in a paper bag,
The reason you will see no doubt,
Is to keep the lightning out,
But what these unobservant birds
have not noticed is that herds,
of wild bear come with buns
and steal the bags to hold the crumbs !

The pic is one of mine the poem is by Ogden Nash.

Stimulated by La_Spice's excellent insect images I risked my nose by getting only two inches from these bees. If I continue I will get stung.

CISTUS - commonly called Rock Rose

Sadly this delicate flower only lasts for one day.

I shot this picture last week on the pond close to where I work. The swans and six cygnets were sitting on the water in the middle of pond for about 45 minutes before moving off.

This is about my luck when trying to photograph bee's, I miseed once again.
