It's Hard Graft for a Little Bee!
It’s still winter where I live, but spring is definitely in the air! It was mild enough for a winter day the other week to go out, so I went for a walk beneath blue skies and sunshine. Whilst I was out, I came across a smattering of brilliant white that caught my eye. Walking towards it, I discovered that it was a white sakura blossom tree in full bloom, like a beautiful blossom cloud., dropping pretty white petals like tumbling snowflakes on the grass below. The tree was full of happily buzzing bees, but there were also bees buzzing about on the ground below, pollinating clover blooms in the grass. One poor little bee seemed a bit confused and he ended up clinging to a blade of grass, making a slow and steady climb – slow enough for me to take a few photos of him – before he finally flew up and joined other members of his clan amidst the white sakura blossoms above!
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 24th of August is "going up", and even though I took this macro photograph of this bee for my own delight, I’m equally delighted that it is suitable for the theme this week. I hope you like my choice for this week, and that it makes you smile!
