This busy little honey bee was photographed as it buzzed around the flowering Brittlebush at Whitewater Nature Preserve in Southern California. 1/22/20 Judith Sparhawk
Not one of my more gorgeous photos, but I found this interesting. All these honeybees were congregating at a mud puddle I walked past. I knew there were bee boxes nearby, but I hadn't seen many bees buzzing around. (One of these may have been the one on the sunflower I posted recently.) Maybe all that flying must have made them thirsty! 3/2/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
When in the mountains recently there were quite a lot of different butterflies, but this Buckeye Butterfly was almost the only one I managed to photograph. It is a bit worn, but I've always liked this species, and don't see them often. This one lit on the ground, and was very well camouflaged. 6/22/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
