Light Me Up

Columbus Botanical Garden

It wasn’t that it had been a long week, it was about the feeling I get exploring the garden with the sun warming my face. I woke on Friday and immediately knew I should get to work early so I could escape with time to visit the botanical garden. Eating lunch outside reinforced my plan, and if I’m being honest, had me debating cutting out even earlier. Luckily, for the company I guess, I was deep into my current task and wanted to get as far as I could before the weekend (damn that geek inside me)… 🙂

I suppose it is wrong of me to enjoy having the gardens to myself. A family was leaving as I entered and I only saw one couple walking around as I poked my camera into the face of every blossom. Such a great way finish the work week!

A Bee See

Columbus Botanical Garden

We have been experiencing rain these past few days. Nothing crazy although the other night I lost power for ten minutes. Usually not an issue except when the power comes back all my smart lights come on and I need to wait until the wi-fi is back up before turning them off. OK, enough rambling…

Yesterday it was forecast to rain off and on most of the day. My plan was to get a few things done around the apartment, read a little and of course play video games. All was going well until I spotted the small break in the clouds mid-afternoon.

Hhhmmm? Do I have a chance to go to the botanical garden?

Yes I did!

The thought in my head was water droplets on the flowers. What I found was the pollinators were out in full force. I chased those poor bees from one end of the garden to the other. It was a glorious time!
