zeb, I am happy to provide compliments where they are deserved. I too love nature - I think most stoners do, as we naturally tend to veg out watching the Discovery channel, eh? Life is always hectic at work, so it's nice to finally slow down, and there is something about literally and figuratively stopping to smell the roses that helps keep my blood pressure in check. Your photo of the cloud formation is outstanding! It is a wicked looking thunderstorm brewing, eh - a guess from the pure height of the clouds.

Your family's beehives are awesome too. I read somewhere, sometime about declining bee populations - definitely here in the U.S.A. It seems like it was attributable to some disease? I was wondering if you had any insight/knowledge of such? What would the world come to without bees? I had not seen a honeybee for a long time, but here recently have seen a couple flying around my pool. I was wondering if the bee was interested in my poolside plant - hehehe.

Keep up the outstanding grow work, my friend, and please keep posting your photos!
