Lookie here!

One day in the Spring I was doing my Ranchito Meandering, casting admires here and there, and generally just seeing what I could see.

I stopped to consider a frog sitting at the edge of a small pool of water. It was a hot day. I wondered why the frog wasn’t in the water. Then I saw a bee, making a (yes) bee-line to the frog.

That would make a great photo, I said to myself, anticipating that old frog tongue snapping out to grab the bee.  I was ready for the shot.

And here’s what happened: the frog sat quietly while the bee landed on its head and–what? licked  it? Oddest thing, really.  The frog didn’t move a muscle or bat an eye. The bee did its little dance on the head of the frog, and then flew on.

I said to myself, well, lookie there! I never seen nuhsing like it!
