Hello old friends...it has been a long time. I am still bound to a wheelchair, electric. Many months of the year I am trapped inside of my place in snow and no nature pictures to take.. hence my long absences, but I do miss you all..

Another thing seems to be back this year.. here in Cheney, Washington, as I rode my chair to the public areas, I came across quite a number of honey bees. We were all worried about them as they had been absent themselves and now in the last two years seem to be appearing once more.

This my friends is a honey bee. I am sure you have seen plenty and much better quality. I am doomed to be as far away as possible by my wheelchair and the heavy dirt laden ground so I depend on a rather inexpensive lens and my steady hands...as best as I could... and may you all my friends... BE BLESSED! with Good Health.

Bob
Ciao vecchi amici ... è stato un lungo periodo di tempo. Sono ancora legato a una sedia a rotelle elettrica. Molti mesi dell'anno che sto intrappolato all'interno del mio posto in neve e non immagini la natura a prendere .. quindi le mie lunghe assenze, ma mi manca a tutti voi ..

Un'altra cosa sembra essere tornato quest'anno .. qui a Cheney, Washington, come ho guidato la mia sedia alle aree pubbliche, mi sono imbattuto in un certo numero di api. Eravamo tutti preoccupati per loro come lo erano stati assenti se stessi e ora negli ultimi due anni sembrano apparire ancora una volta.

Questi miei amici è un miele delle api. Sono sicuro di aver visto un sacco e la qualità molto migliore. Sono condannato a essere il più lontano possibile dalla mia sedia a rotelle e il terreno sporco oppressi così ho dipendono da un obiettivo piuttosto economico e le mie mani ferme ... meglio che potevo ... è anche possibile tutti i miei amici ... Sia benedetto! con la buona salute.

Hello Bob, I'm very happy to find you! But I'm also very sad to read that six out of a wheelchair, I hope it is not forever....The quality of your picture is a miracle considering the conditions in which you have taken, I hope to find soon your lawn and your forest against the light that entered the photographic history of this site.Have a nice time a many many health!! Luciano.

Hello Bob...Glad to see you back on TN! It has been a long time since we exchanged comments/critiques. Your photos, composition & input has always been inspirational.

This is a great capture with beautiful colors, details & composition. The title that you gave this post is catchy & true to its core.

Bob...you may be in a wheelchair, but you still have that deep love, respect and appreciation for the natural world out there...TFS.

I wish you the very best of a healthy outcome and if its possible for you, please continue to post on TN.

Best wishes & kind regards!

Umar

Hi Bob,

The flowers are framing well the bee. The close-up point of view is showing with precision the details and colors of the bee. The good luminosity is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Bob,
I was just thinking about you the other day. I was up near the Lake in Mentor and picked up a news paper to bring home. I started to wonder if the Sun was still in business, because I remember you used to do articles for it years ago.
I must say it's nice to see a photo from you once again. I'm not sure which is prettier though, the bee or the beautiful blooms. Love the bright vivid purplish flowers with their tiny green centers.
I remember a few years ago when the bee population here in Ohio hit an all time low due to the mite problem. You could hardly find a bee in my yard, which is filled with White Clover flowers. I'm glad to report they seem to be in good numbers once again, and you wouldn't want to walk barefoot in my yard now-a-days.
