Royal Goyals

The Bee Whisperer from NC points out a queen bee.

Check out the closer shots and see if you can identify the workers, drones and queens. There is a queen in each photo -- one is a local girl and the other is from Slovenia via northern CA. Extra points if you can tell the difference.

R&R in L.A. (just don't take the train)



















Parental units deserve only the best. So when Mom came to visit recently, we immediately set out for 99-cent tacos in the barrio and a visit to the Coroner's office (for the gift shop that supports drunk driving education, of course). With a little agua fresca, we then hit some favorite haunts AND some new sites (i.e., Bradbury, Central Library and Griffith Observatory). Lovely!
