It’s Coming, It’s Coming!

Thought this was one of the most beautiful videos on pollination I’ve seen.  It starts out beautiful and just keeps getting better.  Enjoy. . .

Buzzing Among the Lilacs

Doesn’t this watercolor epitomize Spring, I am so looking forward to the smell of lilacs and watching the bees flit about from one tiny bloom to the next. Below is a portion of a poem, When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom’d ,  by Walt Whitman (1819-1892):

In the door-yard fronting an old farm-house, near the white-wash’d palings,

Stands the lilac bush, tall-growing, with heart-shaped leaves of rich green,

With many a pointed blossom, rising, delicate, with the perfume strong I love,

With every leaf a miracle……and from this bush in the door-yard,

With delicate-color’d blossoms, and heart-shaped leaves of rich green,

A sprig, with its flower, I break.
