The Food Chain

Life.  How do we survive? We need food and water, to exist and to multiply. This lovely bee was enjoying the rich nectar from this wonderful late flowering shrub call Caryopteris. I was trying to photograph the bee with my macro lens, and once more not happy with the results. They just NEVER stay still. It buzzed around from flower to flower along with several other bees, but it was the biggest the most attractive.


 Bzzzzzzz....




Bzzzzzzzz......


Bzzzzzz.


..... And then suddenly silence. Where had it gone?



OH NO!



Luckily the spider seemed to be busy with an earlier casualty, 
now cocooned.



Then it turned around, heading straight for MY bee!!


HELP, what to do?



Then MY bee broke free!! Phew. A happy ending.
