With all the rain we have been having here along the Colorado Front Range, everything is growing like gangbusters, including the flowers in my wife’s National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat garden.

Thursday afternoon I mounted up my macro lens and headed back there to get some captures of the blooms and bugs. This big guy was hard at work and commanded most of my attention as he really was cool looking. I loved this shot which shows all the pollen that stuck to him during his stops.
