Bees in Tanabe and Minabe

Bees in Honey

We saw many bees today in Minabe (neighboring town) sipping on the nectar from the many ume (plum) blossoms. It made me very very happy to watch them buzz from blossom to blossom. Spring is here.

In Flight

I have been wanting to make stamps that indicate movement. Movement inspired the running deer, the bent ferret and now the double bee.
