Widow Skimmer ..

A Lifer for me, though this Skimmer is known to be in North Carolina - (Libellula luctuosa) He came floating into the Garden of Surprises - Definitely surprising me - Working in the Garden .. all of a sudden, he was there .. Camera on front porch - Retrieve camera - Take photos of this handsome fellow - Before he went away - Or the heat got to me - He won - Was still there when I came in - It is a beautiful day and Life Is Good ! © All Rights Reserved

Good gracious, Mz Holly ...

Mz Hollyhock was host to this bee for at least an hour .. He was there when I went out .. Still there when I came back in .. For all I know, he's is there .. Many hours later .. Watching him go around .. Gathering pollen .. Sometimes in a full circle .. Other times .. He would stop half-way .. And go back where he had been .. Don't see how there is more room for more pollen .. Plus, think he will get airborne .. If bees get drunk off pollen ... Then, there is a Drunken Bee in my yard : ) © All Rights Reserved
