Enormous Bumblebee

Macro shot (yes, it wasn't THAT big, LOL) of a huge Bumblebee on a Bergamot flower in Jim Coutts' amazing homestead garden, just north east of Nanton, Alberta. Love the little black heart and the texture of those crinkly wings. Has a look of an expensive carpet : )

I am SO stressed out - trying to renew my Pro Account for yet another year (my fifth). I've e-mailed for help about it, and got an automated reply. Checked various things and can't for the life of me see what else I need to do!!!! I have wasted so much time the last few days, trying to get my payment made. Getting really annoyed about this and very concerned that it will mess up my photostream. Any suggestions, anyone? Guess I should have added this paragraph when I actually uploaded my photo, not when you had all left your kind comments .... sigh.

Later, half past midnight - thank goodness, at long last, I've managed to renew my Fickr Pro Account. What an absolute pain this has been the last few days! I ended up signing for a two-year renewal simply to avoid having to go through all this hassle again in a year's time!!
