Last summer, a large bee and I had an altercation in the kitchen. In short, it could not manage to exit out the window through which it had entered and so it now rests in a jar, frozen in time, quite beautiful, I think, if a little macabre. Off and on, I have tried photographing the creature but nothing clicked until yesterday when the sun shone “just right.” Flowers both real and artificial reflected on the surface of the jar. The bee’s wings glowed with iridescent light. Factoring in curvature and irregular thickness of the glass … well, it was a sight that made me grab my camera.

The biologist in me is kind of curious what will happen over time, but likely what will is happen is that later this spring I will bury the bee in a pot full of flowers or maybe under that big oak tree. We’ll see …

It is a sad title but it has been a beautiful journey. An unexpected gift from a friend of a bouquet of tulips with encouragement to photograph its form. And so I have over the past couple of weeks. But these may be the final images, I think, pink petals resting in a gold goblet catching the last of winter’s light.

… to have the opportunity to photograph such beauty in so many forms.

I’ve noticed some activity at my local flower shop. Spring really is coming, isn’t it? Be well. 😉

the sun was shining and so there was a wonderful reflection of the tulips in a nearby framed print of blueberries in a field. A wonderful layering took place.
