Takes me back.
I kiss my echinacea, but this fall I will plant a few that can grow in…can’t wait. Lovely pictures!
Oops…I miss my echinacea…bees are kissing them! 🙂
It will take a while but you’ll get your new place filled with echinacea and other treasures. I saw you’re starting to plant things out.
Yes just a wee amount here and there. Went from cold weather to heat so leaving lots more to the fall. I hope to get my blog back up soon. Feels right and I have so much to share.
What fun!
I wondered what the bee would do when he got that little pink petal sticking up, but it didn’t bother him a bit.
I don’t know what type of camera/phone you shot that with, but those are great photos. The bee would even be impressed. 🙂
That bee paid me no attention! I settled long ago on just using my iPhone. It doesn’t allow me to take pictures of birds because I can’t get close enough, but otherwise I’m happy with it. Thank You!
They are quite meticulous about covering all their bases!
They are. Sometimes they seem more haphazard.
Cute
I love watching bumble bees go from bloom to bloom on daisy-type flowers.
The bee was completely focused!
