If you lay in a forest full of bluebells and looked upwards, this is what you would see. Violet bliss.

Theory of bee relativity

I found one tonight at sunset, sheltering at the center of a yellow-petaled gum flower. As you can see from this photo, the little fella fits in just perfectly. Now I just need to get my hands on a macro lens and I'll really be able to show you what I mean

Counting bees
Photos and text by Sarah Phelan Saturday was an adventure in bee counting for folks in the Bay Area,. Personally, I counted lots of honey bees in my back yard, all drawn there by my licorice-scented Agastache "Blue Fortune" or hyssop, as it's also known. Out along the Alameda shoreline, I saw metallic green sweat bees and longhorn bees in profusion on the gum plants. and anoccasional bumble bee bizzed-whizzed past us as we wandered past huge stands of wild fennel. Happy bee count! |
This is what Agastache "Blue Fortune" looks like, in case you are wondering. |

Solstice cats and bees
The only creatures already stirring in my yard at sunrise on the summer solstice were bees. |
Oh yes, and the cat, who was, of course, pretending not to be watching the bees. |
Hell, he even averted his gaze when I tried to get a better shot. |
But the bees were oblivious and had already collected great gobs of pollen, despite the early hour. Happy solstice! Try to enjoy all fourteen hours and forty-seven minutes of daylight today. |
