I’ll miss #Montreuil 💗 #GrandParis #StreetPhotography
A woman with a little black dog looks at her phone as a skateboarder in a blue tracksuit skates past at the entrance archway to the shop- and restaurant-filled Rue du Capitaine Dreyfus (labeled "Les Boutiques du Cœur de Montreuil") in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, France, beneath a blue sky.

I’ve loved working remotely for 7 years. I think my social skills have improved working for a U.S. firm from NZ because I’ve had to work harder at building relationships. I quite like that. I do try to walk in nature daily so that probably helps

#MacroMonday #FlyDay #Bumblebee #ECK
This close-up photo captures a bumblebee feeding on the centre of a vivid yellow flower. The bee’s dense black and golden-brown hairs are beautifully detailed, with its translucent veined wings resting above its body and its legs reaching into the flower’s intricate cluster of stamens.

The bright yellow petals fill much of the frame, contrasting strongly with the bee and the soft, dark green background. The shallow depth of field draws attention to the bee’s furry texture and its interaction with the flower, creating a portrait of a pollinator at work.
