I spy with my camera eye at least two busy bees collecting pollen from the New York Asters. Heck, there might even be a third one in the last full flower in the right hand corner. There’s a blur there that certainly looks like a happy bumble bee. You can click on the photo to see a larger image on my Flickr page.

I won’t be seeing my lovely New York Aster blooms again until autumn, but I sure hope that I’ll start to see some spring flowers soon. It’s finally warming up a bit here and the snows beginning to melt. The temperatures have been above freezing for the last two days and are expected to be above freezing (sometimes with rain) over the next four or so days, so with luck there’s a good chance that much of the snow that ruined my back last weekend will soon disappear.

Wish us snow bound northerners luck?

  6. That’s a big bee! Can’t wait ’til our snow is gone!

  8. I’m hoping with you. We are back under stormy, windy, snowy skies. It will happen soon, and in the meantime, such beautiful flowers will keep us happy.

  9. I could not find the comments the first time I visited. They are so far down the screen after a lot of empty space. The bees are busy and spring is coming for sure.
