Happy Monday Judy and Miss Cindi Lou!!! Judy you are one fantastic photographer!!! I love this picture and it is probably the best view I've ever had of anything that stings...as I normally high tail it when they start to buzzin'.
I do hope to get a puppy after retirement when I have enough time to devote to training etc. I'd love to get involved in a therapy program too.

Bees start to work hard. I think they are so happy we had a very early spring. Happy Monday!

I came over to your blog from Ginnie's. I'm completely awestruck by your photographs! I'm just getting into photography and trying to collect information/recommendations on cameras. Right now, I have a Panasonic Lumix but want to upgrade to an SLR. If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
In the meantime, I've become a "follower" to enjoy your photos.

Best,
Bonnie
