Busy bee

We went in search of insects and birds at both the Franciscan Monastery and the National Arboretum, but there were hardly any around. We did find a few bees and skippers at the latter.

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

Gorgeous shot. Might be my favorite summer flower, but Cosmos are right up there with Coneflowers.
