Day 1957, Bombini.

I wanted to find out what the name was of the bee on this picture, I know the name in Dutch is Hommel and in English Bumblebee but I wanted to know the Latin name. I found it on Wikipedia and these different names and classes and I was intrigued.

Day 1956, leap.

You weren’t sure

if the ground you were standing on

could support your leap

of desperation

to the mountain you see

hiding

Day 1952, when.

When I look at nature

and all the noise fades

when nature brings me silence
