Picture 365. So a year ago, I took on this personal challenge to publish 365 pictures in a year. It has been an journey of self-discovery, personal discipline, and artistic innovation. To produce this volume of creative work has been exciting while taxing. Many mornings I have awoken at 4 am to “make my picture” and many more morning I have risen at 5 am to post my picture. To accomplish this goal, I could have gone into my library of photos and just picked one daily, and there are few library images used over the year, but I tried to keep the content fresh and current. This adventure has kept me shooting, almost daily; inspired, always looking for new subject matter; and actively creating on a daily basis.
I can’t say I will continue producing with this level of rigor; nevertheless, I will keep creating on a frequent basis. One thing important to point out, the feedback I received from old friends and new ones too on Facebook and 500px has kept me motivated throughout. Thank you for the likes, favorites, and kind words. - Bob
4 different species visited this plant. They almost all looked like bees (Bumble and honey). This is kind of what I was expecting, my list had said that my likely pollinators were beetles and bee-like-flies and maybe bees and birds. There should be about an average of 6 visitors an hour. Mostly it seemed like this plant was being visted by bumble bees. My site was lower than the national average which isn't too surprising because the area is very cold due to heavy tree cover. I'm not sure about proxy? I assume that pollinators are important because they help plants reproduce which in turn helps with systems like water filtration and air production by increasing plant yield.
