New Photos, 9/3/10

The photos I've added to my gallery this week are from a trip to visit family in upstate New York. My parents get a lot of bees and butterflies in their yard, so it's usually a good opportunity to get something interesting while I'm there.


Swarms of bumblebees were crawling into these flowers before they opened each morning. The rustling sound and weird mouth-like movement of the bud was very much like something out of Little Shop of Horrors.


I always see these brassy sweat bees when I'm there.


This fritillary was a nice surprise. Very bold, really didn't mind having its picture taken.
