The Last Flight of the Bumblebee

Dear Diary,

This is the second time I've found a bumblebee that has died while gathering pollen in the Rose of Sharon blooms.  It is always so touching for me to carefully lift it out and bury it.  I had to bury my sweet Horatio Hare the other day as well, a victim of car.  I was 90% sure it was Horatio, one gets to know a creature you photograph a lot, but I waited not wanting it to be true.  Every day, many times, I would look out around the potting shed for him hoping I was wrong but apparently I am not.  He is gone.  So, a sad time here.  Death comes to all eventually; for some it is a natural end while for others it is a swift and tragic one.
