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
Backyard Blog
2026 May 22: Here's the backyard this week:
- an iris up for what seems like just a few minutes (and technically in the front yard)
- the lilac making its own short showing
- the crabapple, also technically in the front yard
- the magnolia past its prime but still lovely

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.
