  10. Black & White Sunday: Unexpected – Bildhof

    […] When I walked my dogs today (using a time frame of no rain – very, rare thing for the last weeks!) we came across a swarm of bees gathered at a small apple tree. Although we live in a rural place this is something I hadn’t seen before. I took a pic (not to close because I am a wuss), converted it into b&w mode and voilà – the perfect response for Paulas‘ Black & White Sunday. […]
