I was piddling around the yard the other day and I could smell summer.
No, not chlorine, sunscreen or stinky dogs…I could smell our jasmine trees blooming.
As I got closer to the tree’s not only did the smell get stronger, but could feel the buzz of buzzing. The bee’s were having a big ol’ bee bash. And they did not care if I stood by and watched.
It pleased me to know they were doing their job…and having fun.
That is my cousin Joe-Bob avoiding eye contact with me. Rude.
I am thinking I need a macro lens…eventually.
But, this one is doing a pretty good job with my close-ups. (28mm-135)
And then, to my shock and amazement I caught these two gettin’ jiggy wit it.
Oh, my virginal eyes.
Did I just UP the rating of my blog?
Could it be any worse than the Nekkid zebra?
I think not.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Lets remember the real meaning of this holiday. A salute to those who have served our country…the real super-hero’s.
you always wonder how animals deal with the tails 🙂

Those photos are so clear that I can practically SMELL the jasmine blooming. It helped me to know what to look for, in case ours decide to bloom. They are not nearly as happy as yours are, that's for sure!You certainly did \”stalkerazzi\” those jiggy lizards – they are probably wishing they had decided instead to \”get a room.\”
