Sprinkle a little green on top!

I found another Metallic Green Bee today. This one was a little different. He had stripes. The ones I took pics of before were solid green. I was able to get the eyes on this one, so I had to make him my pic for the day! :0)

We mowed the grass today. I may be a little obsessed. I had my camera with me on the riding mower. LOL!

I got a nice pic of a bird today that I am going to post in my other album later. I also got some pics of lizards. That was Jeff's idea! Lizards are just snakes with legs. One of them scurried my way and I now know that I can still jump fairly high! :0)

@flamez Thanks! :0) @imn2it Thanks Nico! You can start giggling now, because the bird I'm going to post later is a Tufted Titmouse. LOL!

I love these photos Carolyn - this bee is amazing and I love how the bee and the brightly coloured yellow flowers, provides such a contrast.

[FaerieMoon]

Haha--now that's dedication! This looks like a bee snow cone....

[Carolyn White]

@murnane Thank you Marg! I will be sad when the yellow wildflowers are gone. They have provided me lots of subjects.:0)

[Carolyn White]

@clarissajohal I left a little patch of wildflowers in the yard too, because I want to take pics of them later. LOL!

@fitzgibbon Thanks! This yellow flower is in the middle of a field and everything is really green right now. :0)

[Paula Fontanini]

Gorgeous shot, superb color and clarity! I don't think I've ever seen one of these bees before, he's very pretty! That dreamy background sets it off beautifully!

[Carolyn White]

@bluemoon Thank you Paula! I had never seen one until a couple of weeks ago. Since I've been doing the 365, I have seen so many things I haven't noticed before. They live in the US ,northern Canada, and southern Mexico. I google a lot! lol! :0)

[Matt Clendon]

I've never heard of metallic green bees before, very interesting (and a little strange too!)
