In Which Pooh Meets Some Bees

This variety of Dalilah from our garden is called Pooh and was developed locally by Swan Island Dahlias. They are great for pollinators.

Very nice shot. I have a thing about bees (yes, even honey bees) since I walked into a hornet's nest at 9 years old. But this is a great shot.

I walked into a hornet's nest at 9 years old

About the same age for me: the local city park had a ramp where the groundskeepers would drive their Gators (or other such vehicles) and dump their leaves.

A ramp with a pile of leaves off the end? It was a temporary dream come true for a kid and apparently a next of bees thought the same.
