Looks like summer...

[Clicker]

Still  checking out  the first couple of batches from the FZ1000...  Hope  to keep learning form my mistakes ... still on auto pilot !!

Standing next to this Ribes  shrub I almost needed ear defenders, the noise from the bumble bees was so loud ..Must have  been two dozen of them working so industriously at relieving the blossoms of their  treasure.

Quick question ...If I want to post a set of pics in one post ... directly on to this site, ( as opposed to using Photobucket as a host )  I presume   the ceiling  of 300 kbs  pertains to the total size of the  attached images, not each individual pic... Thought I'd better check...

300kb for all pics in one post - correct.

The picture works well for me, good framing and dof.

It's slightly complicated. Yes, the 300kb limit is PER POST, not PER PICTURE, but if you post them in separate posts one after the other, the forum software tends to lump them together in a single post for you.

Thanks Chris ... I was going to post a set of bumblebees but  held off  as I wasn't 100% sure of  the rules..Don't want to get sent to the naughty step...

Thank you  Bill.... I am  a tryer...     I am usually not too bad at composition...but there is  always  room to learn and experiment too.

Thank you too FUJI.... Such a vibrant  cerise,  this shrub...With the blue skies we had, it does epitomise Summer with those colours. Just pleased I got some of the bee in focus !

Ooooh I wouldn't be too sure about that Paul ... I binned a few  from this little sortie ! .. Maybe lucky that the camera knew what it was doing eh ? ..Thanks for the feedback though.

Thanks for that John ... appreciate all the comments ...and it does cheer me up to see a positive sign heralding  better weather too ... (hope that it isn't premature   optimism)

Geoff think of that !

I think it's the colours Geoff ...reminds me of a Laura Ashley Print I wore in the sixties .... not that I expect most men to  think of that!

Not too sure about the last two but the first one is great! Just noticed a few bumblies buzzing around the tree blossom, might to try a few myself tomorrow.
