I was working on the yard the a few days ago and happened to notice a hawk (the default term for any large bird that is not a crow) on a neighbor’s jeep. I grabbed my camera to take a photo with the telephoto. When I zoomed in, I noticed what appears to be a bee flying next to it. I wonder if hawks eat bees?
Zooming in on what appears to be a bee (maybe its a fly?):
Its exciting to see bees still out and about. It has been mid-70s during the day which I suspect will be changing soon. Come Spring, Ben and I intend to become apiarists with our first hive. Our new house really doesn’t have a yard that would accommodate hives, so Ben has offered his property.
I recently completed Dennison’s The Market Day of the Soul which was especially helpful and an appropriate compliment to Gaffin’s Calvin and the Sabbath which I had read last month. The latter is a survey of Calvin (and the Continental Reformers) view of the Sabbath, so Dennison’s work was an insightful compliment in expounding the Elizabethan Puritans view. Its an interesting topic.
That was such a surreal moment.. what is a bird like that doing in a barrio like this?
