Remember a few days back when I told y'all that spring has sprung? Well, I had this crazy notion to go out walking and take some more flower pictures. Of course when you have an abundance of flowers, you will have hordes of bees. This was a pear tree growing under the window of our apartment. Well, sort of, considering we're five floors up.
Here's a close-up of a cousin of the hive denizen that stung me.
It was actually this peach tree in front of our favorite samgyeopsal restaurant that got me. I was admiring it so much that I took a couple of snaps. As I turned away to find more pictures to take, I saw something coming right at my face. It hit my left cheek and felt scratchy while I brushed it away. A few minutes later, my cheek started to itch like crazy and eventually was getting numb. I hightailed it to the nearest pharmacy and got some antihistamine pills.
It helped the itchiness and the numbness a lot but didn't prevent the nasty asthma attack that felled for me 13 hours (yes, I slept that long). But it was worth getting all this spring flower pictures.

how lovely to see you blogging Doddie, now I will have more wasted time in front of the PC ha
At least you have the beautiful flowers and the warmth of spring. It's still grey most days, and cold and dank today here in Chicago. Sorry you got stung, I'm allergic to honey bees myself...
Will it ever be spring again? LOL
