Macro Monday: Papillon

A nice series of a Swallowtail. Featuring my first good pic of a butterfly in flight.

Blue Jacket?

I’ve seen yellow jackets but this one had a black body with blue wings.

Wordless Wednesday

2 Bee Tuesday

Busy as a …..

Bug Week

I took all of these last week in Illinois, nothing better than being waist deep in flowers while bees buzz around you gathering pollen and other bugs just try to stay out of the way. But then there is this fella that considers all the bee activity as a call to lunch.
I give you the Assasin Bug, at least I think its one. 🙂

Last Day

Last day of flowers for awhile, tomorrow starts the bug pics I took last week. 🙂

Late Saturday Post

A few more flower pics, anyone bored of them yet? 🙂

Flower Friday

The title is kind of redundant since this week has been all flowers but hey, I did say this week would be flower heavy. I’m saving my bug pics for next week and boy do I have a few good ones. From bees to Assasin bugs and butterflies to wierd coloured ones it will be a fun week of new pics. Have a great weekend. 🙂

Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susans

Sunflowers

I hope next year I can pick up some of the red ones for my mom’s garden. 🙂
