Fields

When you drive around Geneva or walk in the centre it is easy to see Geneva as an urban place with little to offer in terms of nature. If you get on a bike, and ride around you will find vineyards, fields, viticultural villages and more. Yesterday I led a meetup group as we did the reverse Rive Droite walk. My rational was that if it does start to rain it makes sense to be close to Geneva, rather than La Plaine.

Sometimes you go for a walk and you see sunflowers and bees. The bees love the sunflowers and sometimes the volume of bees is so great that you can hear a swarm, or even many swarms of them. Each one picks up a little nectar before moving on to the next. I don’t know whether they have a honey made just from sunflowers, like they do from lavender or other plants.
