Willamette Valley, Oregon mustard field. The little black spots in the sky are bees. I was only about 10' from 20 bee boxes (hives) and the little guys were very busy. I made the big mistake of leaving the car windows down and had quite a time getting them all out.
Have a Great Day

This gorgeous scene looks like bee heaven, Denny!! We drove I-5 just recently, and I loved seeing all the mustard fields. Wish I could have stopped on the freeway and set up the camera...lol! Happy to hear you didn't get swarmed...lol! Beautiful image! Deb #9433774Laura E. Swan May 30, 2011
I wonder if they could smell the strawberries on your seats or shoes or something??? WOW! There must have been huge flocks of them. (Bands?) NO. SWARMS!!! I knew the right term would eventually "buzz" into my head! HeeHee!The contrast between that blue and the yellow, Denny, is so very striking! It's no wonder they love it there.
Great job!!!
