Belonging


This is my last sunflower. It opened yesterday and isn't just leaning toward the sun. It flattens itself at noon to be a plate, just in case the sun should decide to fall. This sweetie says,"I'll
catch you!"

Have been watching bees all afternoon. They're taking turns with this sunflower. One after another. And they each rotate around once counter-clock wise, as if to say -- you humans tell time backwards. It's really only a matter of how much pollen you can carry away from each blossom. I agree.

I love how much this bee looks like its flower no matter which flower it's on!

  1. Hi Mekeel,

    I think I took a picture of the very same bee on a Manitoba sunflower just yesterday. He must be a very busy bee! A good flyer, too! How long do you think the world can keep keep blooming? Can't be long enough for me. How are you? I miss you and think about you SO often.

    Love,
    Lisa
