Bazinga!

In response to the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/fool-me-once/

It’s April 1st! Pull a fast one — publish a post that gently pranks your readers.

No pictures today.

April Fools!!  Sorry – didn’t mean to give you all heart attacks!

Here is what I saw on my walk today.  It was REALLY windy and I am still not skilled enough with the old point and shoot to take good pics in the wind.  Gotta work on that focusing technique.

Anyway, these are some new blossoms coming out now.  They are like really big fluffy cherry blossoms and are quite lovely:

Then it was up Mt. Tolmie again today, where much to my surprise, Camas lilies (http://www.goert.ca/propagation_guidelines/forbs/camassia_quamash) were everywhere!

Here is one with a bee.  I was SO disappointed.  I took about 15 pictures of this one with the bee, but I obviously couldn’t get my focusing right, between the bee flying, the wind blowing the camas around, and my lack of knowledge as to how to use my camera.  But you hopefully can get the idea here (sorry Susan – no better shot…  🙁 )

This, I saw after my other walk today (my other walk for the A to Z challenge, for the letter B which will be posted tomorrow sometime).  I just thought these were fun.

And it looks like some of my bees have hatched!  Don’t know where they are right now, but hopefully the rest will come out soon!!
