Inspiration

My love for bees continues to grow! While recently perusing the many varieties of roses at a favorite garden center, I saw this busy bee and wanted to capture its magic in the gorgeous flowers. It tolerated me for a bit and then let me know it needed its space. I’m often inspired by nature to write haiku and when looking through my photos after the visit, I was drawn to write about this one. They take nourishment and also give nourishment, in big ways! Think about that - nourishing themselves and also nourishing others. Nature is an amazing teacher!
