Of course I'll add some vitamin bee. Of course. Bee-cause. We wouldn't be here without them. ♥️🐝✌️💐 #Flowers #Bees #Gardening

I'll see your sunflowers, and raise you some with bees...💛🐝✌️💐 #PNW
Close-up photo of the lower left third of a solid yellow sunflower with a large tawny Melissodes longhorn bee on the center in the shade. Photo showing a bi-colored green sweat bee curved over the edge of the center of a solid yellow sunflower in the shade. It is right next to some as yet not unfurled green and yellow petals at the bottom that sort of match the bee's shape and color. Jan Groh Photograbee 2025.

Phew. Zosted but happy to catch the last hour of the Portland Bazaar in the Goat Blocks today in Portland, OR. Great market.

Too bad it costs $500/table and sells out in five minutes every January!! 😭👊✌️

I see today's #BlueSkyArtShow tag is #warmth
I proffer these red grape leaves glowing in the setting summer sun last August. #photography

Good #RoseWednesday beeps. Hope you're faring better than not. I'm slowly digging out from under a heavy three weeks of illness and loss myself. #Flowers always help.

A single honeybee resting on the dark brown center of a mostly rusty red sunflower with bright yellow petal tips backlit by the sun. It almost fills the frame.

Almost missed this week's #BlueSkyArtShow prompt. (I've been a bit run down.)
I love the delicate #small #flowers of this Siberian bugloss from last spring.

And, here's some with #bees bee-cause, you can't get too much Vitamin Bee. Ever. Especially during tough times like this.

I'm still struggling to keep up and catch up this week of so much personal loss while my phone is dying from a loose connection. Here's some vitamin bee to help us cope. #bees

Apologies but I'm temp verklempt and off my game this week. Lots of personal loss and disruption.

I'll try to get back to my usual chipper bee-loving posts asap. But I need to restore myself a touch first.

Bee back soon, hopefully. 💔🐝✌️

Struggling after losing 2 friends and 3 disability advocates this week. And now my phone is trying to die too!

Ugh. Too much. Here's some more vitamin bee to cope. #bees #flowers

View from behind the #Bright sunlit North Falls at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon July 2025 for #BlueskyArtShow today. Cool view and experience. It almost looks like a cat's eye to me. #photography #nature

And here's some with #bees of course, bee-cause. 😉
It's also #FlyDay, when you can share the critters that fly. So that works too.

No luck seeing the #Aurora for me last night in Portland, Oregon. 😥 But I'm enjoying all the stunning shots I'm seeing from all over. Including quite south of me. Great captures y'all.
A washed out four second exposure of the northern sky in southeast Portland just shows a hazy layer of clouds and no colors.

Switching up to this shiny fly I caught last summer for both #InsectThursday and #ThrowbackThursday. I'm still a bit off my game due to illness and a personal crisis. But slowly recovering. ✌️
Close-up side view from a little above and behind the left side of a shiny iridescent fly perched in the center of a burnt sienna flower whose name escapes me just now, sorry. (Been sick all week.) JG Photograbee 2025.
