Sometimes, you have to do what you have to do...to get a picture or two or three.
Yesterday, I camped out on the front porch enjoying the cool 80 degree (no humidity) weather we were having. I brought my knitting project with me along with bug spray and camera. The essentials. I could hear the birds singing, the hummingbirds chirping, and the bees buzzing all around me. The Swallowtail butterflies fluttering by. A perfect day to be outside!
The hummingbirds were hungry yesterday and camped out a few times in our dogwood tree close to our feeders. A few times, I caught them playing chase from our yard into our neighbor's yard.
Here's the result of my wait:
The honey bees have also found our hummingbird feeders. They share the feeder with the cute hummingbirds. I noticed they were starting to swarm around the corner of the porch where I was perched with my camera. It didn't take me long to figure out that I needed to get my rear in gear. Yeah, some of them started to chase me or so I thought. I could hear the buzzing around my head loud and clear. After waiting a few minutes inside the house, I poked my head out the front door and noticed they were buzzing around my knitting bag. Great! Didn't know that bees liked wool.
I'm wondering...do the bees like the bug spray I was wearing???? Must tell DH to move the feeders away from the porch.
