To alleviate today's grumpiness, I took some flower photos I've been meaning to shoot for at least a week now. Most of them aren't anything special -- just documentation so that I know what blooms when -- but I must say that I am very pleased with this macro of one of the paper daisies in the front planter. My only regret is that I wish I'd framed it just a tiny bit better so that none of the top petals were cut off. Still, it'll do.



(As always, more garden shots in my photostream, if you care to look.)

I have a very healthy respect for bees, and I am always nice to them. And I hardly ever run away from them anymore!

(Wasps, however, are another thing.)

Wasps ::shudder::

There was one on my garden hose the other day. Eventually it flew away, but it freaked me out in the meantime.

Yeah, The Unicorn and the Wasp was extra scary for me. I spent much of the episode hiding behind protecting a sofa cushion.

I know bees are friendly and beneficial and stuff, and are really too busy to bother with me unless I threaten them. Intellectually, I know that. But they share many of the same characteristics as wasps, and therefore, I try to just stay out of their way.
