I stopped to chat with a neighbour the other day and asked her if she had seen many bees in her garden. Not too many, she said but plenty of rabbits. On our walk today we came across this young cottontail who seemed to be enjoying the flowers. I wished it had turned in my direction but it still gave me some good photo opportunities.

A little cottontail! How lovely, Belinda. Nice photos of this little one. A bit concerning to hear that your neighbour hasn’t seen many bees, either.

Thank you, Lynette! It is worrying about the scarcity of bees. Are you finding it the same?

I’ve seen a few but really not many since the rhododendrons bloomed in early April and they were busy collecting from them.

I wondered whether the spraying to keep the mosquitos down is effecting other insects 😟

I think that depends on the provincial legislation as to what’s allowed. Sprays that affect bees or other “good” insects are under strict regulation here and only used in specific situations such as for infestations where health is at risk or so. You definitely could be right though.

What a cutie! We don’t see as many as we used to, maybe our dog keeps them away?

So sweet! I hope it grows up fast though, it knew we were there but didn’t run off. They’re a lot of ravens in the neighbourhood.
