Day 102: Busy Little Bee

Notice that this little dude doesn’t have a white dot on his forehead, meaning he could have hauled off and stung the everloving bejesus outta me at any time.

Day 65: Madison

I love this time of year right at the birth of spring, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get tired of saying it. [Project 365]
