Last bee at the monastery

The Franciscan Monastery in Northeast DC was a great place for pictures of flowers, skippers and bees this year, and even a few butterflies on our last visit. Hopefully next spring will bring even more.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
