If I’d been a day earlier this could have been raindrops on roses.
If I’d been a minute later I would have missed the bee.
Photo Memory of the Week
Ah, the puffy clouds of summer.
Quote of the Week
To find yourself in the infinite,
You must distinguish and then combine;
Therefore my winged song thanks
The man who distinguished cloud from cloud.
- Johann Wolfgang von GoetheBy the beginning of the 19th century, Goethe was Europe’s most celebrated intellectual icon and Luke Howard — the man who “distinguished cloud from cloud,” a young amateur meteorologist who pioneered a classification system for humanity’s favorite atmospheric phenomena — was the only Englishman whom Goethe ever addressed as “Master.”Read more about Luke Howard here: The Invention of Clouds: How an Amateur Meteorologist Forged the Language of the Skies, by Richard HamblynSource: Daily Good

What a bee-lightful play on words…all to match delightful pictures.

Tom – LOL – I’m not usually one for puns, but I admit this one sort of tickled me.
Displayed against satiny petals in such detail, the bee looks as pet-able as any furry creature. I’m not sure this one makes honey for humans to rob but it provides delight just by bee-ing.
Laurna – Yes, I’ve about given up trying to distinguish one from another. When I see one with legs covered in pollen I wonder about honey, but I don’t really know which ones make edible honey.
