When I am up early enough in the morning I make it a point to take the dogs for a walk before I go to work. They certainly enjoy the opportunity to get out and I enjoy the exercise and the fresh air. I generally take the same route so I don’t always bring my camera (I know, shocking). However, on this particular day I grabbed my bag on my way out the door and I am glad I did.
One of our neighbors that share the alley have a crop of sunflowers and as the sun was coming up this bee was taking the opportunity to soak it up and stretch his cold limbs. I liked the way he (assuming it’s a “he”) was just beginning to warm up enough to move around and get a start on his day.
