Such a lovely shot. It makes me just want the autumn and winter to go away, so we can get back to the Spring. I wonder if humans can hibernate!

Was für ne mühselige Arbeit in der Heide! Sehr schönes Bild, die Bodennähe ist prima, genau wie das Licht. Gute Lösung mit der Vignette.

I watched a documentary yesterday night on nature and beasts in Wales! What beauty! They still preserve so much of nature and birds and wildlife. And the view of the land from above makes for a wonderful patchwork! So...of course, bees are busy 7 days a week!
