Having been a city girl most of my life, I have only recently become conscious of all the growth an life that still abounds even as autumn unleaves the trees. Lovely reminder of the life that still buzzes along even as the season changes.
this is such an interesting and intriguing take on this prompt Carole. Really enjoyed reading this work, well done!!! Glad to see you at OSI, one of my fav prompt sites.
The fuchsia is outside my back door. It's a big, old bush, which I cut back last year. This year, as with everything else in my garden, the combination of sun and rain, has produced amazing growth.
I had bees' honeycomb in my compost bin. I was going to write about my virginia creeper, which always produces lovely autumn colours, but I was drawn by the sound of the bees, and watched, fascinated, as they sqeezed into the cups.
You had honeycomb in the compost?!! Did you eat any of the honey?!! This is indeed a reminder of home where there are always lots of flowers and greenery. I had to go looking to find flowers to photograph here! And the insects are all much louder and scarier than bees!
It was a long time before I ventured near enough to discover the honeycomb which was all comb and no honey! The air was thick with bees above the compost bin one day and I didn't dare to go outside as I wasn't sure that they weren't wasps. Another day they all gathered on a branch of the fuchsia and I was worried because baby Noah was coming. However, I'm sure the insects in Japan are much scarier.

Thanks for sharing this with OSI, Carol! I love the hypnotizing effect of fuscia!
This seemed like a true communion with nature.
Enjoyed it.
Your verse has a nice lilt to it. The sound of the bees is a lovely image to introduce
Oh, fuchsia are one of my most favorite potted flowers.
Your imagery of little worker bees sucking from purple cups is excellent. Lovely poem.

is there anything more mesmerizing that the 'mellow autumn sunlight' you describe...
Great images with the fuschia and sucking bees.
