This past weekend I was in Stratford to visit my parents. In Stratford, there's a really nice garden called Shakespeare Gardens. It has a lot of bee-friendly flowers down there so I knew it would be a good place to go for some pictures. The first picture is of a bee at a sunflower. The bee is just about to land on the flower. I had seen the bee around the other flowers so I was following him and guessed right as to which flower he would go to next. That resulted in getting this photo.

That is why the first one is darker and moodier than the second which is brighter and happier. The third picture is of a group of Red Pines looking up at their canopies. The camp itself is named after these trees. The fourth picture in this post is of the camps mailbox and pr
