    Our lilacs are coming into bloom and the bees and other pollinators are busy with them. I dusted off my macro lens and started snapping some photos. I was so happy to see all the bees around and the amazing smell from the lilacs. This is hands down, my favourite time of year. We have been trying hard to make our place a bee and bird friendly place and I think this year, we finally did it.
