“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” ― Confucious


 I left my cardigan at the Art Gallery so went back the next day to pick it up from Lost & Found. I was early so pottered around the Botanic Gardens while I waited for it to open. 

I discovered a little corner I hadn't really noticed before, with a home to bees.














 I've walked past this part many times but purely with the objective of getting to the harbour, Botanic House or the Calyx.












We often look but don't really see what's there.









Sometimes wasting time brings new discoveries.


"The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." Marcel Proust





And lastly, we finally got a pretty sunrise - still with cloud cover but not enough to steal the colours.

  2. Gorgeous sunrise! Many times we don’t notice beautiful things, especially near home, because everything seems too familiar. Never heard of such stingless bees!

  8. Hey, I came by on the right day - didn't know you changed the days:) I love Botanical Gardens, and will soon visit the one in Dallas (which would be the closest from Austin). Stingless bees - who knew they existed:) Have a fun weekend.

  12. So true that we often are too busy or focused on tasks to notice beauty.. I like the photos of the stingless bees, birds and beautiful flowers!
