There is surprisingly little research on the physical mechanics of backpacking. Good reading over at Outside Online.

This bee was in front of our window this morning during heavy weather. As if he was knocking on the window, looking for a safe haven inside for whats to come. Or it was beaten up by the storm and just recovering a few minutes, recharging for a busy workday ahead. But maybe this little bee got caught up by age and decided to spend the rest of his remaing time at our window. Who knows. But there's a story behind this bee. One we will never know. Like so many stories in nature we don't know of. And so much nature close by to discover but we don't. While all it takes is to stop, look and listen now and then and catch that moment.
