2011, Day 157 - Boog

As I walked the dogs this morning I noticed a proliferation of new flowers in bloom.  The heat from the warm weekend seems to have had a wonderful effect on the flora of this city.  So once I deposited the pups back at the house and before my running to an appointment I took a short walk and found that this little iridescent armored invader perched within the folds of a rose in bloom.
