With a preschooler in summer camp, this image sends me off in a completely different direction... busy kids on a late August afternoon, tired from the day's activities, overdue for a nap. :)
I am heartbroken about the bees...I worry, and I adore them - I think somehow, my praise, like all those monks meditating, will help them make it through.
Good one. Striking and a little sad. I hope people watch where they are walking.

It isn't easy to be a bee these days. Great website, I had no idea there were so many different kinds of bees, alas ignorance.
