the bumble bees are dying. scientists say that radiation from cell phones is interfering with the bees' ability to navigate and find their way back to their hives. this phenomenon is wiping out bee populations in the US, and now it's sweeping europe and parts of india. it reminds me of the stories you read about the whales that wash up on the shores of beaches so far from where they belong. i also read recently about a penquin from southern chile that ended up on a beach in peru...thousands of miles from home.
this makes me think about the way mankind is living on this earth...it obviously has adverse affects on our fellow animals that inhabit this planet with us. what is it that is making our friends so confused? why are they loosing our way? perhaps it is because we have lost our way.
i am most concerned that the bees--the polinators of the plants that sustain us as a human race--are disappearing.
einstein once said that if the bees disappeared, "man would have only four years of life left."

I just stumbled onto your blog... my good friend Chris just came back from Texas where she is studying why the bees are disappearing. It's an amazing and fearful thing... you've got some really beautiful photographs here!
