1. Wow, my dear Mousetoescamper!

These are amazing, especially the close-ups of the bees on the flowers. Great clarity and colors.

Your fields and forests are also wonderful, but the close-ups take the cake!

5. Thanks, Peggy!

2. I have a western version of those...

Right outside my door almost. It's always busy with bees.

6. Great! You've got native plants that are beneficial to pollinators.

9. Yup!

They grow all over the place around here. At any given time I can see four or five different pollinators flying around it. I have lots of nasturtiums too. I have good batch bee/pollinator attracting flowering plants around because I like seeing all that goes on with them. I planted a lot on mu porch too, all the stuff the deer and rabbits eat.

10. some beautiful shots in there....

....bee-lieve it or not, the third bee photo is not a bee, but rather a hoverfly that mimics a yellow jacket.

I've been in stare downs with a few.

4. Very nice photos, Mousetoescamper!

The subjects and colors give me that September feeling!

My favorite is the last one.

That's one of my favorite trail loops at the park. There are 11 miles of trails, including equestrian and biking, on 544 acres.
