This year we were fortunate enough to stay once again at the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin for a conference. The courtyard of the hotel was filled with flowers, and bees pollinating those flowers - it was mayhem and I loved it! I found a bee with the biggest "pollen pocket" I have ever seen - it was ginormous! :-) It's always a challenge getting that close to the bees but they don't seem to mind me so I just keep clicking away...

I also loved the incredible lilac-colored amaryllis (I think that's what they are) - I've never seen them that color before. And the hibiscus were huge as well - they must use some mighty fine fertilizer up there! The morning after the conference ended it was bright and the flowers had lots of droplets from the sprinkler system - just right for some photos - it was a great year for pictures!

As my husband returned me to the airport bright and early last week it looked like the sky was on fire - what a picture! Sorry I haven't had time to edit out the telephone wires and lovely construction barrels, but hey, you get the idea!
Have an awesome day and enjoy His creation!
Fondly, VG
