THE HONEY-BEES ARE…



 The honey-bees are gumming

On their little wings, and humming



That the summer, which is coming,

Will be fun.



For the spring is really springing;

You can see a skylark singing,



And the blue-bells, which are ringing,

Can be heard.



~A. A. Milne~

  3. I love the poem and the pictures to go with it are awesome. I want to jump right in to that third one and walk that path. Maybe not right behind that couple but still :)
    That bird picture is so pretty too. Any one of these would look amazing in a frame, hanging on a wall.

  6. Those words are very true for our area. The bees, the bluebells and the meadowlarks are so prevalent right now.

    2. well, I like arty blogs so they're interesting.
      The AI is clever. It looks a bit like a post-impressionist. But it also doesn't look like a painting, so I could tell. Can you imagine what AI will be like in 20 years time? Yikes!

    3. I can only imagine! Yikes is right :0
