Gathering

Today was so different from yesterday's stormy day. The sun was out and the sky was blue. This honeybee took advantage and was busy gathering pollen.

Thank you for your comments on my ladybug yesterday! I also want to thank you for your concerns about the storms. We had high winds, rain, and hail, but no damage. I love spring, but not the storms that come with it.

A fave Carolyn - so gorgeous. Sorry for the lack of commenting lately. My allotment at school this year is HUGE and I am busy trying to keep on top of testing and starting the year off well. I appreciate you loyally commenting on my photos - I do see the comments and read everyone with a smile on my face. Hope to get a bit better as the term settles down. xox
