After several days of rain, hail, tornado activity, more rain followed by rain, we had the chance to go out and see who might have survived the continuing deluge.  These little beasties were captured in the gardens surrounding the Westminster Butterfly Pavilion.  A slight breeze and some minor camera mechanical snafu activity made today's photo shoot pretty interesting.  However, with all of that, we managed to capture some nice images!

We are slowly seeing the bees return to the garden, especially as the flowers really start blooming.  The total domination of lupin is slowly giving way to yarrow, Russian sage, bearded iris and a host of perennial flowers.

While waiting for some images to be printed, I wondered over to the garden to see if I could find any bees for an upcoming display.  Beautiful lighting, awesome flowers...no bugs!  The ants were out and about, working the Peony...and I finally found a couple of scavenging yellow jackets.  The light was so amazing, that I shot outside the box and captured a couple of flowers as well.
