Week eleven and still going strong!
Day 69-
We still keep honey bees and dress in our beekeeper outfits when we tend to them. We were done, closed the hives, and came up the driveway to empty the smoker. I always listen to make sure I don't have any bees following me away from the hives. I heard nothing. After extinguishing the smoker I looked across the street to all my daffodils blooming in our septic drain field and thought I should take a photo. Reaching in my back pocket to get my cell I encountered a couple of bees hanging out on my phone. Needless to say, I was stung a couple times.

Day 70-
This photo is kind of fun. One trick I learned along the way is using your video function. I took this photo/video while my husband was driving. I videoed the house as we drove by. My cell has a function where you can grab or rather export individual frames from a video to your folder. I have used this to get a mid-air photo of my five-year-old grandson jumping off a stone wall. Anyhow, after I took the video I noticed the white smoke on the left side of the image. I thought it made for an eeriness to the photo. The white is a reflection of my windbreaker sleeve off the window.

In the springtime we have an abundance of wildflowers that grow along our road. In the photo below there are Bluets, Houstonia pusilla, and Draba verna, a tiny white flower.

Day 72-
We had trees fall from the Hurricane in September. Root balls with upended trees still dot the landscape. This root ball has a clump of daffodils blooming.

While at the beauty shop to get my hair cut, I thought I'd get a photo for this day. So many items from which to choose!

Day 74-
Spring is here! My Crabapple is blooming. This one is Malus x 'Red Silver'. The leaves are burgundy and the blooms pink. The honey bees enjoy the pollen and nectar on these trees.

Day 75-
Across the street from our house are many lots that still have trees on them. Some are septic fields but a few are buildable lots. I did no filter or light adjustment on this. Through the trees is a cleared area where the timber company has cleared the lumber and is getting ready to replant.

That's all for this week, come back again next week!
