@Lee71 it took many goes to get that pic...the bee kept flying off when my phone got closer...and then many photos of the bee were blurry...I'm not a natural photographer! I was glad I finally got a clear photo for you though.
@Emelia8 I can't see your photos yet...

Thanks, Lee...it's one of my better pics. The vast majority of my photos don't work out... 😞
I was thinking about the 5 love languages...have you heard of them? I was thinking that yours is maybe actions? @Lee71
And @Emelia8 , I was wondering what yours was...
And I can see your pics now - you are so lucky to have that huge backyard! All that nature around you! I'm glad you have that.

The rough concept says that there are 5 ways we give and receive love - words, touch, actions, gifts and quality time.
For instance, I have a painful history with gifts as they were given to brush over all the abuse...so gifts don't speak of "love" to me. My love language is words. (The flip side is that harsh or critical words damage me even more than they would otherwise.) That means I also tend to use words (not for instance gifts) to show others love and care.
I was just wondering if your love language might be actions...as you went to the beach twice...and you have gone out and taken photos as well.
