I got to spend a day with my Sister, who lives 3 - 4 hours away depending on traffic. Here's a photo from our adventures that made me smile...
We were at the Outback Kangeroo Farm in Arlington Heights.

Thatβs beautiful. Our day there was more cloudy, but that scene fascinated me.

I canβt recall what led to this impression, but this reminded me of the Potlatch ceremonies of the Northwest tribes. Slender boats in a dark room are filled with colorful glass globes and spires shining in the spotlight.
Not a true panorama, but 2 Photos side-by-side, of glass filled boats at Chihuly Gardens and Glass. Enlarge to see the variety and color.

A small magenta cosmos flower with a yellow center is visited by a large black and yellow bumblebee. The background is a light bright green.
If I fits, I sits.
Does this flower make my BUMble look big? ππΈπ

The underside of the bird, which is all we see in the photo, is covered in stripes of brown against an off-white color. Its head is all brown with small spots of white. Its eyes are bright yellow, as well as the flesh above its short, sharp, and curved beak.
