I took this photo of a very strange looking bug. Makes me wonder what it is. Is it a bee or what.

This is a Honey Bee Mimic Banded Eye Drone Fly, harmless but makes a loud buzzing sound.

This friendly bird sat very still while I managed to take a few photos of it.

I managed to capture this bumble bee in action, while taking photos of some flowers in a garden.

I caught these two Oryx having a fight at the Zoo. It was great capturing the action.

I was at a lovely restaurant that had a duck pond. I took this photo just as the female went under the water.

I took this photo from my front door. I love trying to catch birds in flight.

I was at a tea garden and pet shop. I took this photo of a adorable puppy that was so tired after playing.

I love taking photos of bees. This one was taken in a tea garden.

Who's the boss.

I saw these beautiful flowers at a tea garden. I could not resist taking a photo of them.

I took this photo at a bird park in south Africa.

A cat spying on me through the flowers.
