Every weekend, Little White, our cat is expecting us to play with him at the backyard garden.

In normal workday, we  cant spend morning time with him as we need to leave home early.

Today is Saturday, Our playtime in the morning.

We went to garden, check out the plant, have a walk, games, running…

It was a joyful and cheerful moment.

We are HAPPY!

Our garden, home for many insects and animals. We love them!

We’ve a few beautiful cock comb flowers, a gift from nature. It growth by itself. Superb beautiful!

This happy morning, our friend, Big black carpenter bee (Total width: abt 5cm) came to get breakfast from Cock comb flowers.

How awesome he is! Animals and Insects can sense our kindness. We are not going to harm, they are also not going to harm us. We can live in harmony!

Look at him ! How awesome he is! Animals and Insects can sense our kindness. We are not going to harm, they are also not going to harm us. We can live in peace and harmony!

Little White is saying "Good Morning" to the Giant bee… How nice!

Little White is saying “Good Morning” to the Big black carpenter bee… A nice moment in life!

He is enjoying happily his breakfast… Do your best to plant more green in your garden. It's self benefit and benefit other beings. Love all beings, irrelevant of their form.

Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.

  1. Lovely photos, I especially like the one of little White watching the bee. We all depend on each other to support the circle of life, so it’s up to all of us to make sure the circle is unbroken.

  3. Amazing! I have never heard of a black bumble bee before. He is actually very attractive 🙂 We only have the yellow/black variety in Canada.

  6. I have never seen a Black Bumblebee before. He is magnificent!! What an amazing photo capture. Like many of your other commenters, my favorite photograph is the one of Little White looking up at Mr. Bee. Gorgeous colors and composition. But I love the detailed closeups of the bee, too. I think I would very much enjoy hanging out in your garden for a while. 🙂

  9. Thank you for sharing your cock comb flower photos. I tried to grow that here, but it gets too cold in the winter. You must live someplace warmer than NW USA. And I like your philosophy, also.
    Thanks for visiting my blog – Great minds think alike!

  10. I agree completely. I have never see a bee like that one…just beautiful. Looks like a warrior bee, dressed for strong winds and hot sun. I have lots of friends in my yard as well. Your photographs are so lovely. Thank you for letting me see this incredible bee.

  11. 5 cm Wow that’s a very big bumblebee!
    Thank you for the like on my Dahlia post 🙂
    Have you seen my bumblebee picture too?

  14. Thank you for visiting my blog. You also have a good eye for nature and the right mindset. We have so many types of bees foraging in our yard, it is hard to get a good still shot…they are all vieing for the same flower.
