I’m Not The Only One Working In My Garden

While getting ready for my garden segment tonight I noticed this friend flitting from zinia-to-zinia. This was taken with my cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S2) using its macro focus feature. I was way too close for comfort. The bee didn’t seem to care.

The Rhododendrons Open

You’ve got to catch it while you can because most spring flowers are short lived.

Our Yard’s In Bloom

“You’d better get out there quickly,” Helaine reminded me. “The flowers only last a few days.”

Spring blooms come quickly in the front yard. Our first tree, which Helaine thought might be a weeping cherry… but maybe not, unfurled this weekend.

“You’d better get out there quickly,” Helaine reminded me. “The flowers only last a few days.”

The memo was received at “Bee Headquarters.” There was an army of fat bees flitting around finding pollen. Thankfully bees don’t have allergies!

Over the next week or two Connecticut will explode in spring colors before settling into the lush green that’s summer. I’ll keep “Clicky” at the ready.
