Thirsty Bee

My sister has a small fountain in her backyard. I love the soothing sound that it makes. I was amazed to watch the bees and wasps as they gathered around the fountain to take in water. Since bees are not know to be good swimmers they prefer to find water in small puddles. The bees find all the small pebbles around the fountain, perch on the pebbles and begin lapping up the water. Nature gave me another lesson.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Great shot, Monte. I guess that bees get thirsty, too. This reminds me, I have plans to add some type of water, like a fountain, or something, in my backyard for the birds and various insects that might want to come around.
