RICHARD NEWLAND has shared photos with you
|
| |
RICHARD NEWLAND shared the album Blue Bumblebee, etc with you on Windows Live. <[link]> "Earlier this month the thistles were still blooming down by the river here in Tequisquiapan (central Mexico). What quickly became my focus of attention was a blue bumblebee. It actually looked as if a normal bumblebee had fallen into a can of flourescent blue paint. None of these photos have been edited in any way. That was the actual color of the bee. Is it a normal variation of a regular bumblebee? A mutation? Have you ever seen a bumblebee that color?..........Richard"... more »

least... seven or eight years ago.
I sort of was beginning to suspect that they weren't around here... more »

Birds, Bees, Butterflies, & Blossoms
|

I don't know the names of most of these creatures, but I enjoy watching them just the same. These thistles are very popular, and quite often two or three bees share the same blossom.................Rich... more »

Grinnell System
|
| |
Has anybody on here tried the Grinnell System of nature study? I'm
really wanting to take my nature study to a new level, and the method
I enjoy most is hand writing notes in a journal format. The Grinnell
System is basically a very involved, organized journal.
Here's a link if anybody's interested:... more »

Beach trip, etc.
|
| |
Hi all! Not much going on here of late, I see. I lost my Google
password or something, and so ended up making a new account. So I'm
finally back again.
I've been trying to make a practice of making species lists while on
vacation, and my recent beach trip to the Myrtle Beach area turned up
a nice little list of about twenty-five species.... more »

Winter reading

Hello !
Have been working on a "bug eaten leave award" and the Latin
scientific names. It is hard work for me!! For diversion I do
"other" reading. I found this book "In Perfect Timing" by Peter
Caddy. It is about a "New Millennium" community that he started in
Findhorn Scotland. And the part that interested me were the gardens.... more »
