The Little Busy Bee

"How doth the little busy bee

Improve each shining hour,

And gather honey all the day

From every opening flower!"

                                                            Isaac Watts

Watts lived from 1674 to 1748, and is often referred to as the "Father of English Hymnody."  He composed many popular hymns which still remain in active use today.  There is a charming story about his childhood propensity for rhyming in his Wikipedia entry, found here.

Wishing you all a weekend filled with shining hours!  :)

With the Flow

I don't really know what to say about this one.  It was taken one morning, as the sun shone through some thistles that were bending low.  I had gone out chasing the morning fog, and come up empty.  But a wildflower field at my local park beckoned, and I found this.  I guess sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
