Busy bee on a blanket flower

What to do when you are bored? Head out to your wife’s beautiful flower gardens and see what you can find.

One of the reasons I bought a macro lens was just for occasions like this – photo ops right in my own backyard. I have a lot to learn but am getting better each time I break out the lens.

This little guy was doing what #bees do, pollinating this flower and then moving on to the next.

I do have to give a shoutout to the City of Thornton and their Thornton Water Conservation. Their “H2Overhaul” program provided the incentive for us to do a ton of work on the yard and install these gardens.
