story: Isaiah gave Erika a tour of one of our sites were we helped to establish a pollinator hedgerow because Erika had never seen one before and this is one of the conservation practices she will be including in her study to document how much Carbon is stored in the soil at various ages with various conservation practices. It was a beautiful morning and a fun, collaborative time!

one of the many bees pollinating my cucumber flowers. i understand the ancient animism beliefs now. the magic of transforming a seed to a fruit is powerful stuff, with little bees and bumble bees and wasps as the wizards that make it happen. maybe i should build a shrine...
Another bee/sunflower shot from Ikei Island. That bee has some great camouflage so view large and enjoy!
Unidentifed insect pollinating a Boulder Raspberry (Oreobatus deliciosus) on the Sugarloaf Trail West of Boulder, Colorado. I was thinking this was some sort of Beetle but after trying to ID it I'm not so sure.
