One of our hives swarmed this afternoon. Hubby saw a lot of queen cells so he knew it was only a matter of time. The girls didn't go far, just over the fence to our neighbor's yard. It was an easy rescue and the girls will be going to their new hive this evening. Honey bee swarming is in full swing now so please call my hubby (408) 802 1331 or your local bee guild to come out and rescue the bees.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
