Hello!
I do hope this finds everyone well and happy.
I'm sorry I missed your last post Jan of Welcome to My Thoughts blog. I loved sharing with you over the past while. I love your art and will enjoy visiting your silent blog, so I hope you see this.
Hubby keeps saying there's been no posts from me whenever he looks ... um, so I guess I better get myself into gear and do some!
Spring has surely sprung here in our neck of the woods.
I've been enjoying following the bees and seeing what they get up to in our yard.
I got a real surprise when looking closely at the Pittosporum trees. After years of having them, I'd never realised what pretty flowers they have and with such a delightful perfume. Anyway, the bees obviously knew because they were in a feeding frenzy when I snapped some pics:
... and then there are our lavender pots.
I've had fun potting up new plants and the bees have really enjoyed each new flower as it opens. They get a bit possessive and try to see me off with a few close "buzzes" but I told them quite firmly...
my lavender - my rules... which means
I get to take photos in exchange for
them getting lavender pollen!
So far the compromise seems to be working:

It always amazes me how much hard work goes into collecting pollen.

A final lavender pic:
... as can be seen in the background, the chooks aren't all that impressed with me snapping photos - it's food time for them, so I down camera and off into their yard.
Thanks kindly for visiting - see you at yours!
