The Bees Are Back in Town (113/365)

Posted by Ellie

This morning Steven called me outside and we stood under this tree. "Listen", he said. I listened. "I can hear birds." "Not just birds," he said. So I listened again. "And I can hear traffic." Traffic? No, not traffic! It's the hum of hundreds and hundreds of bees in the tree blossoms above us! YES! The Bees are Back in Town! I stood on a step ladder to get close enough to catch this little guy.

And now after a few days of post bombing you all, I'm as up to date as I am going to be so watch for a treat of a different sort from tomorrow. I'm planning to share a story I wrote which will be in full on my blog, with a share of it on here.  (My blog is www.elliekennard.ca and so far it mostly features my G+ postings, but this treat will be a 'blog' 'almost' exclusive.)

Hanging on a Cliff Edge at Low Tide (112/365)

Posted by Ellie

Sounds like how life feels, sometimes. It looks precarious, but what we don't see in this photograph is that there are huge boulders at the base of this cliff that prevent it and the tree from washing into the sea. They were placed there for that purpose. Again, this is similar to our lives. Make sure that we have a good solid base around which to plant our roots and nothing will uproot us. Without that, we cannot stand for long.

Always Have Flowers

Original Post May 7, 2014 – 111/365 of the #365 Photo Project

It doesn’t matter if the whole house is being demolished and rebuilt around you. If you have flowers, you always feel better when you look at them. The fallen plaster, dust and chaos fade into insignificance. And what colour to choose? Why tulip pink, of course! What else?

Stranded Puffer Fish or Empty Seed Pod? (110/365)

Posted by Ellie

I know (and I'm sure you know) the answer, so no prizes for guessing, but this really did remind me of those sweet little puffer fishes we had in our aquarium, many years ago.  Having seen a few signs of early Spring I was on the hunt for more when I found this. Nothing to do with Spring, but interesting, nevertheless.
