Photo of the day for 08/18/13: Fuzzy Bee Face. On the fifth day of our trip last month we took the ferry to Vancouver Island and went to Butchart Gardens which really is quite beautiful. I was thrilled to encounter so many bees there as well and many types that I had not seen before. Here is one photo that I particularly like of one bee's fuzzy face.

I was sorry we didn't have time to see the Butchart Gardens up there. That's a great shot. I think the blurry flowers in the background really add to it.

Thanks. The gardens were really gorgeous...more than I expected even. And so many bees!

Well, we'll have to try to go back and see them again someday. We were on VI for two days, and it rained the entire time. That wasn't too bad for SCUBA diving, but when we tried to see East Sooke, it was clear that we were supposed to see views of Washington across the Juan de Fuca Strait, but we couldn't see much in the rain and fog.
