    I totally didn't see the word Video first time I saw the photo, the purple flower and bee had my whole attention.
    Great shots of the wildlife, the blue Damselfly is gorgeous. I wondered where you were that the butterflies and damselfly would sit on your arms and leg.

    Gosh is there no end to your talents Philip? I love the shots of the bees and hoverflies but I think my favourites (if I really have to pick) would be those beautiful photographs of the blue damselflies. :-D

    I edited my post to say that I also thought the music was absolutely perfect for your video.

    Very nice indeed! I too almost missed the video link. Great shots. I can never get the little critters to pose for me like that.

    Thanks for the compliments folks!,
    really its just luck with the pictures,..i am always with camera in hand so that makes it easy,..and then pointing the camera after i sneak up on something,..then click!.

    Toni,..very clever!,..i mean the word, "Bee-utiful", :) .

    Eileen,..i have to admit i too fancy the Damselflies,..and i am pleased you thought the music was was correct for that.

    Jerry,.."Flight Of The Bumblebee",..you know your music!.

    Cherylad,..those critters know a soft touch,..i am likewise with Bee's and Wasps,..but you can not move to take a shot,..or its "ouch!".
