Take a Word Challenge #33 - Insects


Thanks to Willy for suggesting "insects" for this week's Take a Word theme.  The Queen Bee's face is from an E-vint collage sheet.  Body, sunflowers and hive painted by me.  Everything else was found on Google Images.

    For the last 2 years we have had bees take up residence in an old birdhouse just outside my window. I see those busy little fellows coming and going, but of course, I never get to see the Queen .... until now. Little did I know she would be so stylish and have such a fabulous taste in leg wear! You crack me up, Marie.

    Fabulous, Marie. If all insects were as beautiful, the garden would be an even greater place to spend our time. Love it.

    The queen bee strikes again! No apples this time, the business is honey! I love this little empress. By the way, your earlier paintings are a delight! Very interesting the effect that this program provides. I should try it sometime.
