We found this black bee in the venetian ruins of Gramvousa. I'd never seen one before, and the colours were amazing....
We spent Saturday of last weekend at a scout camp, doing organised activities, playing in the woods and camping. And also, snapping some photos....
I've been using a couple of iphone apps to adjust and edit my photos (just for a laugh) so here are the results!...
