As usual too, Sam took the most interesting photos.
It wasn’t easy trying to get close to the bees without scaring them off. Sam almost got stung a couple of times.

Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to … »
it must have been a happy experience.. the whole family going outdoors and all are taking photos of their own.. =)
yes it was, mai.
i’ll be posting more photos in a bit. 
I like your phrase “I love sunflowers! They are just so… happy.” They truly are that’s why I painted my kitchen yellow that reminds me of sunflowers.
Love the photos.
My kitchen is yellow too, KK. And one set of curtains in the house have sunflower prints.
