I finally did what I've been meaning to for a long time. Well, at least one of the things I've been meaning to.

I started a site on which I'm posting one bee pic per day. Today's post has a little one on a semp bud. You can see the site and that post here:
https://bees.photo/

If you don't want to click that link, here's the pic:
Thumb of 2020-02-03/evermorelawnless/e83f68

I'll be bringing similar prints to the one above to Lynn's place for the clinic. I also plugged Kevin's book in the Feb 3rd post a little.

If you see anything broken or have any suggestions for improvements, please let me know. It's...to understate...nascent.

There's also a link in my signature.






Asa, that is wonderful. They were all great, but the one that really touched me is the one where you can see the bee's neck. I had never seen a bee's neck. I will never forget that photo.

Thanks, Lynn. It's really a foray into the unknown. But I have so many bee shots that I think are compelling in one way or another. Enough to last a few years at that rate, at least. And I've not done all that much with them. Guess I'll see how it goes. A new one every day. And I've got lots of beeneck.

Just wait for the beebelly post. Pretty interesting. Really interesting.

I look forward to learning more about bees Asa. I do love bees of all kinds. We have some pretty sweet native bees.

This is great. Those bees are hard to capture, little buggers move all the time.

My favorite bee is the bumble bee. Don't know much about them but I like seeing them around. Never seen a bee's neck either til tonite. Thanks Asa, it's off my bucket list now...

That is how I felt Julia. I didn't want it buried. Smiling

Thanks, Julia. I just got back my first prints on metal, acrylic, and canvas. I'm completely blown away. Bees as wall art probably isn't all that intuitive. But wow, those look good.

I also got a photographic print of the one in the thread above. It looks just stellar. Cannot wait to see it on metal.
