Happy Thought for 8 December 2023
Have a Happy Thought:
We’re winding down to the end of
the year, which means lots of “best of the year” competitions are publishing
their winners. Which means I get to bring to you some more stunning nature
photography:
First-off: bees.

And if you want videos of bees, as
well as possibly the most calming voice you could ever think of, check out the
social media channels of Erika Thompson / texasbeeworks. Or just google
“Another great day of saving the bees.” You will thank me!
