Busy Bees and Springtime Flowers . . . The Ultimate Eye Candy!

As others are finally experiencing spring weather, in all it's glory, we are entering 5 months of some serious desert heat! This is a small photographic recap of the beauty we have enjoyed these past couple of months . . . I hope you enjoy it!

 

California poppy . . . honey bees run around in a circle collecting pollen!

 

Pollinating out almond tree.

Reminds me of a Renoir water color.

Beautiful, and exotic looking, wild flower.

 

Sisters pollinating our Santa Rosa plum tree.

 

Dainty purple blossoms!

Two of my favorite things . . . Our honey bees and the delicate smell of apple blossoms!

Is it a lily?

 

Pink and Red Poppies!

 

These were a delightful surprise in the midst of our wild flowers . . . Any idea what they are?

 

I am so thankful I didn't throw out those old seed packets of wildflowers! Way back, last October I was preparing new flower beds along our driveway. The dirt was full of so many stones! I had to haul out buckets and buckets of stones to prepare the soil for planting . . . As you can see from these photos, it was well worth it! Their beauty has brought such joy . . . to walkers, runners, bicyclers, horseback riders, even folk driving by in their vehicles, and of course, all of us . . . Over at Julie's!!!
