Italian Cordovan Honeybees in "Faith"s hive gather at the entrance on the landing board. I have had the bees since early April and decided to see if they had produced any honey May 15th. To my surprise there was alot of honey to be gathered. I had lost two of my hives last fall due to robbing by wild bees during the drought, so I was please to see that these were doing alright".

"This is the workbench for building, repairing, adjusting, and maintaining bicycles to a professional standard. Not shown are other specialized tools, such as a wheel truing stand, wheel dishing tool, spoke threader, bearing presses, work stand, grinder, drill press, welder, and many small parts. Bicycles require more skill and knowledge to work with than many realize. But all the same, they are a wonderfully simple and sustainable device for fun and transportation. Bringing an old and abused bicycle back to life is very satisfying. It used to be that shiny racing equipment was the most exciting--but the older I get, the more I appreciate the pure utility of the wonderful invention of the bicycle, used for ordinary transportation. I work with some friends now to repair used bicycles to give to those who really need one". Image: E. Brodie

"Picking the newspaper out of the driveway is a daily ritual at my home. Tuesday, May 15th was a significant date where I live because it was a Primary Election voting day. 2012 is the first year that Idaho voters would vote in a "Closed Primary" and it was a controversial change of state policy."

"A young woman is breastfeeding her baby in the restaurant area of a busy home wares store. I am working with a midwife who coordinates breastfeeding support drop-in centres. We are building a collection of photographs of women breastfeeding in daily life for her to use in her work. We are hoping the photographs will help mothers new to breastfeeding to feel more confident about feeding their babies whenever and where ever they want. We are creating a network of mothers who volunteer to be in the photographs. I used May 15, 2012 to go out and meet a new group of women breastfeeding around their daily activities. The women have all signed consent forms for their photos to be used in public." Image: Paul Carter
