Hi Travis, How nice to see soil and life! Here in the cold tundra that is Boston...we're still under 4 or 5 feet of this %$#@*!? stuff (I won't mention its name for fear of retribution) so any signs of life will have to wait until April or May. Warm Regards...LOL Fred Biasella Cambridge (Boston) MA...aka the new Arctic Circle USDA Zone ????? -----Original Message----- From: pbs [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Travis O Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 9:47 AM To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org Subject: [pbs] Bee and bulb pics Hi, Just posted some pictures I took this weekend of bees visiting bulbs in the garden. They were taken in full sunlight, low ISO, low flash setting. It wasn't practical to use a shade of any sort, as that scares bees away! I had to creep up slowly, but carefully so they didn't take me as a predator. Here's a few: Bumblebee on Scilla http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ffwohcY7JE/VOwdn82yPhI/… Bumblebee on Crocus http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xZQaDq7EJNY/VOwgmmTsp1I/… More here: http://amateuranthecologist.blogspot.com/ -Travis Owen Rogue River, OR
