“It was the bumblebee and butterfly
who survived, not the dinosaur.”
Meridel Le Sueur (February 22, 1900 – November 14, 1996) was an American writer associated with the proletarian literature movement of the 1930s and 1940s. Born as Meridel Wharton, she assumed the name of her mother's second husband, Arthur Le Sueur, the former Socialist mayor of Minot, North Dakota.
Very thought provoking. And lucky for us!! No bees, no people.

DeleteI am happy the bees survived. Pretty photo! Take care, have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteMe too Eileen and thank you, you take care and have a wonderful weekend also :)
DeleteI am thinking we could not survive without butterflies and bees, but we have done ok without giant dinosaurs stomping around...
ReplyDeleteI wonder where the world would be with those dinosaurs. Scary thought isn't it? :)
DeleteWell that's a good one. Never heard of it be fore.
ReplyDeleteThanks Red, I liked the quote when I found it. Definitely spoke to me :)
DeleteI like that it is well done. Happy weekend, Diane

ReplyDeleteI thought so too William :)
DeleteOh, the butterfly has been around for so long, hasn't it? And it's still as beautiful as ever.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful weekend, Denise. I hope you see something wonderful around your neck of the woods this weekend. I have been seeing the mourning doves lately. They come and pick up pine needles and fly away and do it all over again. ; )

It certainly has Sheri and as you say, as beautiful as ever :) I wish you the same my friend. I'm happy to read you are seeing your mourning doves. I had two on the deck this afternoon. Always a welcome sight. How interesting they are picking up the pine needles.
DeleteLooks like she survived a long time herself.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly does :)
DeleteLove the cute sculpture, Denise.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings
Me too Veronica Lee :) Hugs and blessings to you too!
DeleteThe bumblebee survived indeed, but we are doing our level best to kill them off.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that we will wake up in time David. I do hope so! :)
DeleteI like that!
ReplyDeleteSo glad Jeanie, thank you :)
DeleteThen again... birds are the descendants of dinosaurs, right? :-)
