I snapped this photo of a bee pulling out the flower petals to get to the nectar in the inner part of the thistle plant. I am sure there are technical names for each part of the plant. So, if I got them wrong I apologize.
I just loved watching the bees work.
Until next time…peace
Did you know today, July 16th is World Snake Day? The unofficial holiday raises awareness of the different species of snakes. With over 3,500 species of snakes around the globe, only 600 are known to be venomous.
I am generally not afraid of snakes. I actually enjoy photographing snakes and other types of wildlife. In fact, numerous Garter snakes hang out around my chicken coop. But, I will tell you, when I opened the coop door the other day, a snake fell down from the rafters and hit my hand. I do believe the entire county heard me scream.
Do you have snake stories?
Until next time…peace
The photo was originally from an old negative. I don’t have any background information. I can guess from the type of negative, the photo is from the late 1950s or early 60s.
I have so many questions about this photo (well, any photo really).
Let me know what you think when you look at this old photo.
Until next time…peace
