[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 182681, member: 12214"] 8-7-13: Today is a hodge podge of stuff. A couple of bee shots, some plants, and yes, a bird. :) I've been taking a lot of bumblebee photos only because, this year, we have a lot of bumblebees around. They are not always the most willing subjects. Here are two from today's bumblebee excursion.
