Whose body Nature is, and God the soul."
~Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,
With golden treasures load his little thighs,
And steer his distant journey through the skies."
~John Gay~
These photos were taken a few days ago when the sun was shinning and the bees were frantically doing their work. The air was buzzing with activity. They paid me no attention and continued on with what they needed to do. It seems so focused and important a task for them.....
I think there is a lesson here.
It was a rainy and damp day in Paris, but I couldn't stand the thought of being cooped up inside all day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a lovely Sunday!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating landscape surrounds you! I've never seen a tree like the one in your third photo. And that first one has a majestic silhouette. I can see why you enjoy your walks :)
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, it rained hard here too for a couple of days. How refreshing, and the air is so sweet. Everything was bright green today, and the ocean was such a deep teal. Beautiful. Thank you so much for your continued support, I truly appreciate it. Things are getting back to normal, hopefully. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family, say hi to Sis for me! Hugs & love, Riki

What beautiful photos! The manzanita started my heart aching though, and I could almost smell 'mountain misery' somewhere in the background! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe life lesson is something we all should try and heed - even if it isn't always easy...

We have snow! I'm so excited, like a child...It's so strange to see the weather change so drastically. It will get me going on putting up some fairy lights outside...Your tree photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picks!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! Happy Thanksgiving Mrs. C! Tell all the animals for me too! Throw kisses to them all, and say its Texas love from NJ!
ReplyDeleteIt must be so nice to live in such a beautiful area. I love the wide open spaces where you can just go for a walk and be just with your thoughts. Your photography shows how peaceful nature is where you live.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.I do tend to be very honest and say what I think but it also gets me into trouble sometimes but then that's a whole different story ,lol.
Enjoy your day Farmlady:)
The Manzanita has fascinated me ever since I first saw it in the AZ White mMountain area, I almost couldn't believe my eyes!
