Diving In

The bees were going crazy diving in and drinking from the thistle flowers. I spotted two types of bees and several leaf footed bugs and a cousin of the leaf footed bug... the stink bug.

@wakelys @koalagardens @judithdeacon @marlboromaam @dutchothotmailcom @milaniet @bubblequeen @lynnz @pusspup @rinflorin @pdulis @thewatersphotos @seattlite @ziggy77 @santina @craftymeg @haskar @sprphotos @jernst1779 thanks so much... I so appreciate your comments. Funny thing... I spotted the thistle and bees in a parking area near the base of the Allatoona dam and was shooting away... bees... bugs, etc. and this young man asked me what I was doing... when I told him I was shooting pictures of the bees on the thistle flower he replied to me and said that he had been there the day before and someone else was doing the exact same thing. I thought it was kind of funny that he would ask... to me it is kind of obvious what I was doing.

@kvphoto Hard to imagine you missed that. It's still popular! Bill Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy were so funny back then.
