Buzzing by the gardens…

November 17, 2022 naturecoastimagesblog

Yesterday I did what I used to do when I lived in Spring Hill, I dropped by the botanical garden rather than drive past it. I doubted that butterflies would be in abundance in this cooler weather, and I was right. But right there in the butterfly garden I found something I haven’t seen in ages, a big fat bumble bee. And the afternoon light was nice. What a treat.

I was amazed at how solid his wings look in this photo.

He was ignoring me completely as he flitted from flower to flower.

I wish I could claim to have set up this shot, but it was just lucky.

I love it when a spur of the moment inspiration turns out so well. Life is simple these days, all it takes is seeing a tiny little creature to make my day. Life is good.

Life is good!! Great photos of Mother Nature’s beauty. I remember chasing big fat bumblebees when we visited Squam ScienceCenter’s flower garden.

  There haven’t been many nice bees like that in quite a while.
