Hard at Work

Hard at Work

I was able to capture this fat little bee hard at work yesterday. There were probably ten little bees all buzzing around this same cluster of crocus blooms. But this little guy in particular wasn’t hopping from one flower to the next like the others, he was very intent on digging deeper and deeper into the center of this particular flower for quite some time. If you look close you can see the little pieces of pollen stuck all over in his hair.

This photo was taken in Snowater Resort,- the gateway to the Mt. Baker wilderness!

Snowdrops in Snowater

Snowdrops in Snowater

I saw these little snowdrops next to one of our condos in the Snowater Community yesterday. There are many  little trails that meander through the woods and along the river in Snowater. The spring birds are singing, and the little buds and flowers are popping up all over! Spring is a great time to visit the area for a quick getaway. Snowater has two pools and two hot tubs, as well as community areas with racquetball, a pool table, table tennis, a giant sized walk and play chess board, and much more! There is also a children’s playground outside. It’s a great place to escape with the kids, or to come with adults only and enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods!

Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring

The last few days have been warm and sunny! The temperature has been around 70 degrees which is very warm for this time of year! I noticed this little crocus blooming just across the street from me. I love seeing the little signs of spring after a long winter.
