We head into a new decade, while a bee slices
through the humid morning air towards
the empire of the sun.

    Nice photos!

    Save the bees, and the “forgotten pollinators” too – bats, butterflies, nectar-eating birds, and even some beetles, and flies.

    The flowering plants of our planet can’t survive without them and vice-versa.

    Thanks, Jeff and Patty. Hope we stop ignoring the needs of all the pollinators soon.

    More biodiversity!

    What a compelling image! All is soft focus but the focused, intent working bee. The world seems to only exist as a background for this singular flight, this single purpose, this solitary bee.

    Thanks Pete. Single purpose is right, they ignore me and concentrate on their tasks.

    This one looks like a lot of workers who are returning to the daily grind after a holiday time vacation, head down, arms hanging . . .

    Like the rest of us, Harry? Except bees get no vacation.
