Fall begins today but the weather has remained nice and warm and we haven’t seen the last of the flowers. I took these photographs on a particularly sunny day last week when it felt more like July than mid September. I was happy that the metallic bee landed on the flower in the second photograph. A little jewel in a sea of gold.

Lovely, warm, and welcoming. Your little jewel is an agapostemon bee. If you Google that name you’ll find a lot of useful information. I really recommend getting familiar with bugguide.net. It’s a treasure trove and covers much more than just bugs.
