A buzzing in my ear...

'On my way here today... I heard a buzzing in my ear, and spent some time investigating what it was.

There was a short reprieve from the rain and I went out into the garden with the 'pent up dogs' as we all needed some time out of the studio. What caught my eye and ear was this little fellow busy gathering as much pollen as he could before the rain came back. I got as close as I could to get the photos but they don't do him justice, he was wonderful to watch, and completely oblivious to me and the dogs (until one tried to eat him) not successfully, I may add. What I found so great about this little bee was he reminded me of a very cherished memory, in fact one of my earliest vivid memories of lying on my stomach, head in hands, watching a continues squadron of bumble bees going in and out of their hive. It was located under my newly married sisters house, and to get to it their front door was a broken ornate iron villa vent. I spent many hour there watching them even letting them land on my hand as they entered the vent. This is why the little bee was so special, he reminded me of the enduring love I feel for that sister and also the complete lack of fear I had at 10. I think I will call her later today ... and remember to be a little more like that 10 year old more often. happy creating.
