One more of my July 4th images:
This was taken while in my hometown while visiting family. The lighting surprises me, to be honest, as it was near noon. I assume that the background was more shaded than I would think (or that the I underestimated effect of the foreground in the near-noonday sun).
The only other thing I have to say is my believe that this is a bee, but not a honey bee. According to BugGuide, there seem to be many more species of bee than one would imagine.
Don’t worry, my cheesiness will dry up eventually.
While dropping Katie off at the Heard Museum for “Critter Camp”, she showed me their flower garden. While admiring (and taking many photos of) the flowers, I found this tiny bee on a sunflower.
I don’t know if it’s a carpenter bee or some other sort, but I doubt that it’s a winged ant, as that would be trying to find a place to start a new colony.
Of course, products are available at our Cafe Press Store
You may note that I’m not using Flickr to host this image. It turns out they don’t want their galleries used for commercial purposes, so I’ll put photos there for “oh, how pretty” purposes, but you’ll have to check here or at our stores to see if it’s available for sale.
If you see a picture you like that isn’t, tell me.
