Bees and Butterflies

Today I went out to our flower garden and photographed some Bees and Butterflies on our flowers.

I am happy to say that I have been seeing more of these Honey Bees this year. The last ten years or so their numbers have been declining. Hopefully, they are making a come-back.

Bumble Bees are here also, I think they have been doing the Honey Bees job, pollinating, when the Honey Bees have been away.

Butterflies were also doing their pollinating thing. Butterfly 1.

Butterfly 2.

Trompe l'oeil in Belfast ME

Belfast ME - This door was painted in the trompe l'oeil style to look like an open door. I thought it was pretty cool. Up close it was a bit confusing to see actually what it was. Not until you step back a few feet you can appriciate the painting,

Piling Face

Belfast, ME, We were in Belfast Maine and I saw this piling that someone had carved a face into. It looks like someone would have to do the carving during low tide.

A close-up of the face.
