Big Bee
Bees are vital pollinators, without whom many of the plants we grow for food would die out. What did this image teach me? That there a many photos in my archive that have long been overlooked, and in this time of isolation and generally not going out, I have a chance to rectify that situation.

The Pale Flower
There’s something fascinating and poetic about flowers, I think. Some of Mother Nature’s finest work. What did this image teach me?
