With little rain, we have few flowers in the garden. Luckily pollinators, especially bees, seem to like garlic chives. Well, who doesn’t?

There’s definitely some colour-coding of what’s blooming — and fading — in my garden.

Stillness in motion
Bees are amazing to watch, especially when they’re hovering. Somehow In this shot I managed to capture the wings looking motionless.
My running just to stand still is never so elegant.

“Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don’t they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.” ― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
Words are ingredients that writers can combine in infinite ways. And as good cooks sustain and nourish and delight us with the products of their craft, so too will good writers. Sometimes it is the smallest phrases — the careful choice and arrangement of just a few words — that bursts into our consciousness and remains a delicious memory long after we put down the book.

Bee happy
