Hive of activity..

There's a buzz around Brussels today as the powers that be try to get a ban on the insecticides that are thought to be knocking off our bees! After that we just have to educate all the idiots that freak out as soon as one of the little fellas comes near them. Stop flapping! You won't get stung! A bee is not a human! It won't attack you just out of its own selfish interests! Not like the ministers and chemical companies that would have us continue using neonicotinoids just because it makes them billions of dollars! No proof it's those chemicals? Hey, no proof it isn't either, so let's get 'em halted until we know for sure what's causing the decline. Can you imagine a world where Lesley's little grand-daughters didn't know what was a'buzzin' round the lupins in my photo...?

Bit of a Buzz....

Yep, more flowers, but I've got one guy in mind as I blog this picture today.
He's one of those "old codger, I used to take photographs when you only got 2 6x4 plates and that was your lot" types, who came up to my stand when I was selling my Florescence shots at an Arts Market in Cheshire. "Hm.." he said "Very nice! But why didn't you photograph them with insects on 'em?"

Well, there ya go, sir! A picture of my lupins, shot yesterday, just for you, and the next time I have eight months to blow whilst I wait for butterflies to land on my geraniums..you'll be the first to know!

The Buzz, of course, has nothing to do with bees. It's all about my latest Joy Division project!
A major Men's magazine in Japan will be selling a T-shirt from August with one of my images on as part of a new Autumn Range! How's that for you, honey?

So, a bit of a football match tonight, and let's hope we can write about it if Giggsy scores, especially if he does so on the pitch! Ouch!
