Flowing Through Mountains

I was beginning to wonder if the bumble bees were out this year.  So far, all we’ve seen are wasps and hornets.  To answer my curiosity – yes, they are.

I was in the yard taking pictures today, and noticed these pretty purple flowers.  There was a large, beautiful butterfly that I was trying to capture, but he seemed to be camera shy.  I noticed a few smaller moths, and tried to capture them instead, but they were shy as well.  That’s when I noticed this guy.  Large and in charge.  He was NOT afraid of the camera.  Quite the opposite in fact, I was afraid of him.  :)

Situations like today make me really wish for a nice digital camera with a macro lens.  Sure, I get pretty good shots with my phone…but what could I get with a awesome, actual camera?!  Soon enough I suppose.  Just be patient Brandi, right?  I know I should just be grateful for what I have, because there are a lot of people out there who have much less than me.

So, on that note, I’m a happy girl and I can’t wait to see what other great pictures I can capture in the days to come.
