RE: Blue Skies, Bees, Buds, and Blooms for Wednesday Walk

in Wednesday Walk3 years ago

Some great shots here! It's definitely been a strange way to spend April that's for sure! The wind yesterday was brutal and the temps in the low 30's at night isn't fun lol I thought we kicked March out the door?!?

Cool, over in Durham. I was there a few weeks ago with my son to try some fishing on the Lamprey for some trout. Wasn't successful but was a lot of fun nonetheless! We were on the Lee side of the river I think but that area seems to be some great fishing so we will be back a few more times I think.

It's funny how intent the bees are sometimes! The bumble bees are ones that I certainly have gotten to like more since they are very gentle. I even nursed one a little bit, he was dead tired from doing his awesome pollinator stuff that he was just lying there on the ground. We gave him a little bit of water with a tiny bit of candy in it for some sugar and it was off to keep working in a few minutes!

Yeah, seems like March didn't get the message, especially here in New Hampshire, eh? And part of Durham lost power for a couple hours (not us, luckily) because of that wicked wind. At least there wasn't an April Fool blizzard this year though, like we've gotten in the past!

I've seen bunches of people fishing at the Lamprey River & it seems to be a good spot. Not sure when the Mill Pond Dam is coming down, but I've heard people speculating that it will make for much better fishing there as well.

And what a cool thing to do! I used to be much more afraid of bees, after getting stung when I was a kid, but I've learned to love them in recent years. I enjoy stalking them through the yard & getting closeups when they're focused on the flower at hand and I'm more worried about hurting them accidentally (getting my camera too close) than getting hurt by them. Nice work Bee-Saver! 🐝 💪
