More Mercer beasties - 06-28-2009, 07:01 AM

Here's three more from yesterday's trip to Mercer Botanical Gardens.

First are Moncarch butterfly bookend shots. There were quite a few feeding on Mexican milkweed and they were very approachable as long as they were feeding.

#1

#2

#3 Bumblebee on white coneflower

Thanks, again, for looking.

Kenny

The texture in the bee really pops out. Good work!
