Busy bee on wildflower... High Coast of Sweden, 2011.

Still wading through images from my trip to Sweden in mid-June... posted another day of travel on my other blog if you want to have a look. In the meantime, here are a couple of bumble-bee images from our visit to the High Coast area of Sweden. This bee is different from our bumble-bees here in the US and I don't know the wildflower either!

    Even I am learning to tell the difference between bees and hoverflies, Victoria, thanks to you. :)

    I really like the last one...like as if it's content and wants to go back home for a siesta after the feast.

    BRONZE LONGHORN is my Monday Link...stop by if you can.

    Cute little bumble bees. They look different from the bees in my garden too.

    I know what you mean about falling behind in processing vacation photos. I'm still trying to finish up my African Safari photos from 2009 and I only made a dent in my Norway 2010 photos. Life is happening faster than I can record.

    I love the colors in your shots and the busy little bee is sweet as can be.
