I'll end this series with another bee shot. This shot marks my 500th post. When I started this blog in July of 2006 I had imagined that I would be posting more regularly than I have. But a lot of life has happened in these last 6 years. I'm incredibly grateful that I am able to take photographs (for a long time when I was recovering from a broken back I wasn't sure that I would be able to again). I'll never stop appreciating the wonders of creation. Randolph, New Jersey. 15 June 2012.
