Bees around the World

Posted on September 24, 2021 by vanbraman

For some reason I am thinking of bees tonight, so thought I would share some pictures I have taken around the world.

Bee on Thistle - Pollen covered bee - thistle - beeI will start with a bee collecting pollen from a thistle. This picture was taken in Turkey, very close to the Syrian border.

Bee Daisy - Sydney Daisies - Red Daisies - Bee pollination flowersI took this picture in Australia.

Bee, Yellow Flowers, Flora and Fauna, Toronto, Rowntree Mills ParkHere is a Canadian bee. Or, perhaps it is a wasp or hornet. I took this picture in Rowntree Mill Park in Toronto.

Honey Bee - Israel - Pool of Siloam - Honey ProductionThese honey bees were at the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem.

Bee - Purple Flower - First Day of Spring - California - Tracy, CaliforniaI will end with a bee from close to home. This flower was in a planter outside of the downtown Transit Center.

I hope you enjoyed these bee pictures.

Since it is now autumn or fall I decided to share some pretty leaves tonight.

Red Leaf in Crawfordsville, IndianaI took this picture of a red leaf in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Do you know what famous author lived there?

Color full leaf, Cambridge, England, Autumn, FallThis leaf was on a walkway in Cambridge, England.

Picture of leaves on the sidewalk in Berlin - White leavesThis pile of leaves was on a sidewalk in Berlin, Germany.

frost, leaves, winter, autumn, frosty, leavesHere are some frost covered leaves in Jena, Germany. I won’t be seeing frost covered leaves here close to home.

fall, leaves, leaves on sidewalk,, red leaves, autumnHere is a leaf covered sidewalk at a park near my house. I took this picture last year during the pandemic. The leaves were able to accumulate on the sidewalk as not as many people were walking through the park each day.

I am looking forward to seeing leaves on the sidewalk again this year.
