Went down to Waird Park to read, and found that there was a company picnic of some kind being held. I was given some leftovers, which was nice.

But more importantly: These photos represent Progress for me. I used to be phobic of bees and wasps. Seeing so many of them in one place did make the old terror start to rise, but I took some deep breaths and just watched them for a little.

Superbly beautiful creatures. They just want space, which I was happy to give them. Really pleased with these portraits.
