Bees & Bugs

Bees and self-pity

These honey bee photos were taken on the Nikon D3000 on auto. Like everything else this morning, my camera wasn’t all that cooperative – still, I’m happy with these few images.

I hate my book today. Yesterday, while giving the e-book formatting a final check, I noticed a missing word. I used that as an excuse not to publish. And then, when I started reading the manuscript this morning, the sentences all turned into stilted crap. I understand fear is a natural part of the process but I never expected to feel this scared about putting Taniel up for sale.

It’ll be okay, though. Tomorrow, I’ll be back to prancing around telling Mr R what a bloody good book I wrote. 🙂

Please do enjoy my bees!

Honey Bee’s Proboscis

Hello people,  I’m back from a trip away over our Easter break. Leaving Thursday morning for Condobolin, New South Wales, we arrived home yesterday around 6pm. I had a wonderful visit with my brother and his wife. Who knows? I may actually tell you about it. I’ve a bad track record for following up, so I will not promise this time.

The bird’s water bowl and the top two tiers of my fibreglass pond dried up while we were away, even though the weather was predicted to be coolish.
