Campbells Gold Honey Farm and Meadery

August 22 Campbell's Gold in Aldergrove on Lefeuvre Rd had an art show with music, food and wine tasting. These are just a few photo's from the show.

Fields of sunflowers.


Jessica and I walked up the sandy road to see the be hives. The sand was getting in our shoes so we took the shoes off. The warm soft sand was wonderful on our bare feet.


Bee hives.

It was a very good day. The only complaints were the bees dropping propolis on the art work, they were calling it bee poop for lack of a better word.

Gardens

Queen Elizabeth park and Bloedel Floral Conservatory in Vancouver.

Abbotsford.


Planting a garden is magical and mysterious. The recipe calls for seeds, soil, sun and water. A bit of weeding and nurturing and the magic takes over with brilliant colors, scents of heaven and tasting the first fruits of your labour warm off the vine, ahhh.

If you look through the Fairy window into the garden you will see the Fairies!

A feast for the birds









Who would have thought that such a useful shack would be turned into a garden ornament?




Don't eat!
