Loved the colors in this shot. Wished the bumble bee had posed a bit better but there are still some interesting aspects, angles and texture in the image. (click for larger view) Hooray for the bees and other critters that hang out in our garden! Signs that our family attempt to allow nature to have its' own balance here in Our Enchanted Garden is of some success! Generations of birds, toads, squirrels, beetles, spiders, bats, lady bugs, chipmunks, and others live in and around the immediate area where we live. We hope to eventually build a waterfall and pond with a pool area for the dogs to enjoy. Just a small setup with a "pond" for the dogs, maybe a 6' diameter kiddie pool. That might be inviting to some frogs and fireflies adding to the backyard wildlife! Most of these critters eat bugs that otherwise might damage the fruits and flowers we're growing. They help us keep the garden in good shape naturally! Natural wildlife also play a role in helping the property reclaim its biodiversity, their excrement spreading seeds of locally native plants. Some plants are allowed to survive in the garden depending on where they show up and if they are a desirable addition to the eco-environment.. Such Intense Color, such is life in spring; Intense and poised and ready to expand into its full potential and expression. What all life forms innately crave in the bowels of their being - each displaying the desire in their own ways. Life is just so Beauty Full, so said my grandma years ago and another very good friend recently! I've been convinced of the same for years and hope to remind others of the simple wonderful treasures in life we all often overlook. We move so fast, think so hard, we forget to hear our inner knowing. There can be too much distraction and static and drama in a person's focus to hear any intuitive or sub-conscious nudging. Pause a moment and celebrate the colors of the season around you and the diversity of life and nature that abound everywhere! Drink it in, breathe it in deeply while remembering to be grateful for your many blessings!
