5-27-11 MORNING WALK

The  temperatures will climb later today so I decided to take a walk on a "trail" which accesses power lines for our local utility company.  Early morning is the best time to walk this 2-mile out-and-back path.  Wildlife abounds - many varieties of birds, wild turkey, rabbits, rodents, coyotes, and even a juvenile bear a few years ago.  Today the scent of honeysuckle blossoms was overwhelming.

  As I bent down to take a macro photo of some of the blooms, a bee managed to duck under my shirt.  I quickly scooped him out but he managed to sting me as he exited.  I'm not allergic to bees so am none the worse (and the hurried shot of the bee didn't work out).

On the way back from the walk, I passed a local farm with horses grazing in a field.  A black and white horse approached the fence for a closer look and I was able to take a few photos.
