Bumblebees, Honeysuckle and a Field Trip


The honeysuckle next to my deck is blooming. I can't believe how lucky I am to be able to sit and stitch outside with the sweet scent of honeysuckle wafting past.
Even on a cloudy day, the nectar is flowing. I missed a shot of the hummingbird who was feeding, but caught this bumblebee diving headfirst into the blossom. See how much pollen she has on her legs!
And I didn't go to the opening, but dear Jean Betts went and caught a few shots. She reported that several groups of children were there - and it was quite crowded. Above, my piece is on the table next to a very handsome looking button blanket backpack.
Such a diversity of approaches! I look forward to seeing the show a bit later this summer.
If you happen to be in Victoria, B.C. you can catch the exhibit at the Maritime Museum of British Columbia, on until September 8th.

    I'm glad to see that your backpack has been put on a table so that viewers can see all of it instead of up on the wall. I think the curator must have liked yours. Looking forward t o seeing the show in late August. Jean-Pierre
