It’s early Spring in Cyprus at the moment.
20/3/18 is the official date for the start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, ( I checked, just to make sure) but the hillsides in Cyprus are already in full Spring bloom.
The trees are bursting out into blossom, the ground is full of wild iris, orchids, and field gladioli, not to mention the numerous other small flowers that pop up through the undergrowth and the weather is glorious.
It’s a time for walks in the hills with a camera in hand…
My story starts with an Almond tree, in full blossom…
and then I spot a bee…
Let’s follow the bee…
Oh, that nectar is so worth a deep dive…
And it’s so good I’m going in for more…
Finished! Time to go home…
Now, where’s my hive?
Travels in the Middle East and beyond 
Spring is here already in Mexico too. I love the beautiful flowers on the Almond tree and you captured the busy bee too, I love your bee story.

Thank you, Maggie, it took a while to get that all in focus, but it was a lot of fun and quite awesome to watch this little moment in Nature’s part in the greater chain… I’m looking for the local honey-seller now 🙂

Just up on the mainland of Turkey is where I am and it’s looking very similar. The weather is amazing at the moment. We are very blessed to live in such a wonderful part of the world.

Thank you, Jane. I would think the trees where you are are just starting to blossom, being that little bit further north… Isn’t it beautiful, we are indeed blessed…
