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!

Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World

No, I’m not back at Disney. It has been over a year since my last visit and I currently do not have any plans to return. I’ve gone off on my reasons in previous posts so I won’t bore you with repetition. I guess I’m feeling a little nostalgic looking through my catalog of images. I also realized I have a lot of images from last year that I haven’t shared. So, this is a warning to expect some incoming Disney pics… 🙂

A Day Through Green

Callaway Resort & Gardens

Time is running out on the Callaway Gardens Food & Wine Weekends. This spring event continues until next weekend so I needed to get back to the gardens. I had purchased a sampler pass for the various food/drink offerings and had three punches remaining on my card. I had sampled every station and had my eye on returning to the Pioneer Log Cabin for the “lamb and three bean chili”… it was worth it. And, it got me off the couch.

The color green is in full display now…
