Busy / by Dave Hileman

There is a small park near our house, Wooten Meadow Park. It is in a depression between two housing developments and along Hare Snipe Creek. It has a walking trail in the form of a paved figure 8 of only one quarter mile. The first half loop is wetlands and wild flowers with three tiny ponds and wild grasses, the second is a flat grass area where kids and dogs like to play. I don’t often walk here because of the size but I should because the flowers are beautiful and there are three kinds of water lillies as well. The flower here is well past peak but the bees were still busy getting every last bit of nutrient they could. This is a fun photo to super enlarge. At least it is to me, you may in fact be normal:)
