It's pretty hard to see, but among the flowers of this blue salvia plant is a bumble bee in flight. I've always had a fear of bees (especially big bees), but I've grown to accept them since I started gardening. Still, old fears are hard to completely get over. You should have seen me trying to snap this shot while, at the same time, dodging the bees.
Here is a shot of another bee, drinking nectar from a hyssup plant. At least, I think it was hyssup. They had several different salvia-looking plants right together, and the bees were all over them.
This last picture is my favorite. Posted to the stem of a beautiful yellow rose tree, was a sign that read, "cardinal's nest: Four eggs." We leaned in for a closer look to find four baby cardinals, completely hatched and sleeping. I took this one picture, but not knowing much about baby birds, I didn't take any more. I was afraid I might scare them.So there you have it. Even the shortest of road trips can be so much fun.
