Lavender Honey

The lavender smells so good this time of year even the bees can't stay away from it. I wonder where I can find some lavender honey...

Fly Zone

Here's Fly hanging out one afternoon on a lime leaf. The pinkish-purple petunias behind just so happened to make a nice colour for a natural backdrop.

Bee-lieve It Or Not, Daylight Saving is Ending

Daylight Saving Time is ending this weekend, which is when we turn our clocks back one hour. It's been summer-like weather here in Vancouver the last few days, and I'm a bit sad because turning the clock back means going back to the days when we get up and go to work in the dark.... and leave work and go home in the dark. Fewer hours of daylight mean less opportunity to see things like this. I'll have to find some interesting things to take pictures of in the dark. Or start using the flash.
