Waterlily and the Insect

I love capturing pictures of flowers. While on holidays with the kids a few weeks back I spotted this insect buzzing within a waterlily and tried to capture it in action.

It didn’t really look like a bee so I wasn’t sure what it was.  Anyone had any idea what insect it was? Do you think it is a wasp?

The insect wasn’t buzzing and  wasn’t too bothered that I was hovering over it with my camera.  It did fly too and fro from the flower and I managed to catch it in action.

It is interesting how  plants in nature are able to provide substance for  other living creatures in our world.

This butterfly was harder to snap as it was more sensitive to movements and flew off before I could get a few more photographs of it. I’m lucky that the above shot turned out clear as I just snapped away without having sufficient time to focus on the insect.

What have you been photographing lately?

The kids were famish after their morning play and I brought them out for lunch at Streets cafe. They were happily drawing in their notebooks while waiting for the food to be served.

After lunch it was off to the pool again for more fun play at the wave pool and water slides.

How do your kids celebrate their birthdays?
