Day 93

I went out to do a little bit of weeding and gardening this afternoon...
Garden Gloves? Check. Rose cutters? Check. Camera? Camera?!? Of course -- you didn't think I was primarily going out to weed, did you?
Check!
The bugs and butterflies never knew what hit 'em. I think that's the reason they were out today, because I looked 'otherwise occupied', and they thought they were safe. WRONG!

Funny, how the 'gardening' was over the second the memory card was full... ;^)

This picture is uncropped.

I was committed to using the first butterfly picture I got, so it was a bit of a wrench to let this Monster Bumblebee go: http://www.pbase.com/image/32289182
and this Strawberry: http://www.pbase.com/image/32289176
and this bee: http://www.pbase.com/image/32289187
and this other bee: http://www.pbase.com/image/32289185
and Tasha: http://www.pbase.com/image/32289180

...just one of those days, thankfully unlike those Other Days...

Oh Man Carmen, you did good today. I love this tiger swallowtail against the purple, but your other photos today are really wonderful. That gigantic bee is amazing as well.
