Has been a few weeks but bees are everywhere. At first I thought all the rain had washed them away so I went to the fields to have a closer look.
They were not into the day-lilies as much as they were the brown-eye Susan's. I should note they were very busy and buzzing so fast by time I found them in the viewfinder they were off again. Here is a sweetie that posed nicely for me.
Did a little turn around...
Then it was off!
Pardon the lack of flow but moving on...
Check this out from Melissa at Bridgeman Pottery. In this post you will learn that it is not a real bee, but fish may think it is. She has a very talented friend Doug who is into bugs, realistic fly-tying that is. Just when you did not need another reason to go to Etsy, now you can shop there for the fly-fisher in your life but please do yourself a favor just go peek at DougsBugs on Etsy...I am floored!
A special thank you to Chris Cardinal and Threadless.com for letting me show off this next delicious item found as part of Threadcakes. Threadcakes is a fun, online cake-baking contest run by Chris Cardinal and Threadless.com. The contestants have to bake a cake based on a Threadless t-shirt design. Just look at this awesome cake by Kris Mommaerts.
It is based on this tshirt design named "Camouflage". I would own it now if it was not sold out!
More links I am loving:
Loving the photo of Sarah's bees returning to her hives with pollen in this post (2nd picture). Her blog is worth the trip if you have not been there, do so! She and her friend are doing a photography collaboration called Montana Mornings and have just started so you will be first in line to see it all accelerate into something beautiful.
Loving the enthusiasm and encouragement to honey farm in this "Start Anew: Become a Honey Farmer" post. I thanks my friend m.heart for that link and the majority of the ones I have featured since the start of Bee Spotting
I also find this pendant from Elsa Mora irresistible. Too bad that is sold as well!
Everyone should have there hands full for the rest of the night just link hopping around. If I messed any of them up please let me know...seems like I was all over the place today with link capturing.
If you see them bees, send to mees
Bees out!
