Just got around to editing my photos from July 15th. Got some gold in there.

Two of my favorite subjects - a Ceratina bee and chickory flower. So. Much. Blue.

Male Bombus auricomus on alert. These guys are very territorial, I've seen them chase finches away from compass plants. They're not as big as the queens, but still over an inch long.
