More than noise

Our walks during lock down where often through eerily quiet neighbourhoods. No cars, no playing children, even no animals could be heard. Then an unimaginable ruckus! All the louder for the earlier silence.

An old farm building was being prepared for core renovation and bricks and stones were coming down a shoot at speed to land in the trailer of a tractor. What a ruckus!

Needless to say that I took 10 photos with a pile of unmoving stones until I got one with a stone in mid air!

I’m a fan of bees

I came across this banner the other day and how could I not agree, spelling mistakes and all. It reads: Without bees there is no beer – that’s why we are protesting here.

And here is message from the bees themselves, presumably:

Looking at you humans we notice you are doing as badly as we are: chomping down on too many insecticides and pesticides, there are too many built-up areas and too few wilderness areas. If you carefully observe us bees here at this hotel as well as our cousins in the wild, you will be able to perceive how you yourselves are doing. Kind regards, the bees.

Hence: Watch out for bees below!
