Neighborhood Bumblebees

I wandered around the Georgia Southern University Botanical Garden this afternoon in honor of Daylight Saving Time returning. Love this day of the year! The redbud trees are in bloom and a couple of big ol' bumblebees were buzzing from branch to branch. This one was busy doing its job while defying gravity.

Side Garden Serenity

February came and went without a blog post. A month of camera hibernation for some reason. Time to resurface.

Meanwhile, more camellia bushes have bloomed in the front yard and the azaleas have joined in the color dance with splashes of magenta and red. Marley will be happy her little red bud tree blossomed this past week, too.

I made a version of this image a few days ago. Since then, I've been drawn to this scene in the early morning, on rainy afternoons and at last light, staring through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the front entry room. Tonight I walked outside just after sunset and opened the rod iron gate into the side yard, 

what we call the Meditation Garden, for this version.
