A Dance With Nature - a photo on Flickriver

            Just living is not enough... 
one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. 
~Hans Christian Andersen

Today was too glorious a spring day not to go on a photo adventure.  I found a secluded area nearby that has acres of wild mustard and daisies growing profusely.  It was sunny so a good time to wear my new hat with a wide brim to protect myself from the rays.  All around me was a field of yellow, and birds flying, singing and the world seemed once again in harmony.  In the distance a sparrow landed and began his song so I began shooting from a distance to capture him & some of the landscape.  As I got in closer, suddenly there was a swarm of bees flying right at me and surrounding my head!  I've heard some horror stories about bees attacking both humans and animals and so I quickly turned and headed away.  When I turned back, they were gone.   That's when I realized the hat I was wearing was a bright yellow, the same color as the mustard.   I was mistaken today for a flower.   A lovely thought.
