sunday post card challenge

there is a new site open called sunday post card art. you can visit this site at http://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com to see what everyone else has created. my little art friend, mandy, invited me to join in this challenge. at first i wasn't sure what i would do for the first entry, which was themed "summer". as much as i love the warm weather that summer brings about i have to admit shamelessly i am deathly afraid of bees. i believe this fear came about due to being stung at the top of my steps when i was little and when i jumped and screamed i fell down the stair case. i guess i just never got over that traumatic event. so i felt it only fitting that my summer theme should be an ode to the bees.
