The last one is a delight: like it's slalom skiing but forgot its gear


Thanks for looking and your kind comment, Linda. The skier is on a bit of a slope!

Thank you, Angela. There were plenty of bees at the platters - they sucked up all they could and then went crazy licking. Their tongues are surely gonna be raw tomorrow!

Reminds me: years ago when my kids were kids, I fixed fudge one night (I make a mean fudge - Hershey's old fashioned). The next morning I got a piece of fudge to have with my coffee. The kids came in the kitchen and told me not to eat it; there was something really wrong with it. They had each gotten a piece when they got up to watch cartoons and licked it to make it last longer. Their tongues were RAW from licking that sugary fudge! I told'em I was sorry, but evidently they had become allergic to fudge and couldn't eat it anymore. That worked for a pretty long time. (Chocolate was not made to share!)

The bees were swarming all around, sometimes alighting on my arm or my camera for a sec or two. Evidently, I just wasn't sweet enough to bother with. Or maybe they're smarter than we give them credit for - they knew I was the provider of the sweet stuff and not a robber of their honey! I never did spy them trailing off to a hive. And as they swarmed all around, I couldn't help but think how crazy we can act when we have a camera in our hands.
