Thanks to the Blogging Challenge I got a chance to learn some amazing things. Also how important the little things are.

Nature is a wonderful thing and alot of us take it for granted. And if you have animals it’s your responsibility to take care of them.

Which brings me to an insect that fascinates, yet scares me to death sometimes (allergies, you know).

Yes. BEES! They are so important to keeping things going and actually fun to watch (as long as you have a long lens and stand perfectly still).

They make honey and keep everything growing and I have to tell you about a wonderful place with wonderful stuff here in a minute.

I didn’t take these photographs today, necessarily but they are a couple of favorites that illustrate how these wonderful bugs work – going from flower to flower pollenating everything. Also I wanted to tell you about Queen Bee Gardens and some thing I learned yesterday regarding the Bee Biz.

Queen Bee Gardens makes candy in Wyoming and I found they use honey from bees. It’s facinating and I learned that when it’s cold in Wyoming, the Bees get an all expense paid vacation to California during the Winter months. That is what I call taking care of your animals!

You simply have to visit their site and read this post about bees being trucked to California. Fascinating stuff!

Follow this link to the story about the Snowbees at Queen Bee Gardens.!

Peace, Love, and Honey,

I love the time when winter is easing on out and spring begins and the flowers pop up and the trees get leaves. I think green is one of my favorite colors.

Blue Bonnets are popping up everywhere, as well as these yellow flowers (that I don’t know the name of – wish I did). I just take photographs of them.

Bees are also buzzing about making sure the flowers keep blooming. Bees are fun to watch – though not TOO closely. I tripped once while trying to photograph some bees. Which of course got them all excited and they proceeded to take it out on me.

I can’t really blame them though. I don’t like giant things falling on me while I’m eating either.

Enjoy the season. Thank you for stopping by.

Peace, Love, and Pollen (*achoo!*),

I love taking photographs of animals – birds, bees, bugs, and you’ll see quite a few of them here once I get started. In the meantime, Enjoy.

I guess the best quote I ever heard as it pertains to photography is:
“Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.”- David Alan Harvey”.

I couldn’t have said it better because I was very happy when this hummingbird came along. And even happier when I saw that my trusty camera stopped his little wings.

Peace, Love, and Birds & Bees,
