Metallic Magic!

I love the Metallic sweat bees! This blue one was enjoying the new milkweed blossoms. I've been waiting for this milkweed to bloom for days. I was very excited to see it had started blooming, because the insects love milkweed!

I captured a butterfly on the milkweed, too. I'm posting it in in my other album. :0)

Thank you so very much for all the wonderful comments and faves for yesterday's butterfly pic!!! It really made my day! :0)

Such a beautiful capture with the blue of the bee against the pink of the blossom. Lovely!

super capture! amazing detail!

Beautiful colours and details. At a glance from the thumbnail before clicking on it, the flower on the left has taken the form of the face of a cartoon lion.

@emmar84 LOL! I looked back at the thumbnail and it does look like a lion! Thank you for your nice comments! :0)
