Bee-utiful!

My Bleeding Hearts are blooming and that has brought out the bees.  I was just able to catch one laden with pollen pouches visiting; my first bee portrait of the year.  Well, today's the day to load my car with luggage and drive south.  I fly out tomorrow early evening.  

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday and sharing the joy of my "present".  I will go carefully and slowly, and I am sure all will be well.
