2011, Day 209 - Probing

On a walk in the neighborhood adjacent to my office I espied some echinacea.  Pollen abounds in echinacea and when they are in bloom you can almost always find bees and that is exactly what I discovered as I got closer.  The structure of the flower by itself is beautiful but when you put a bird bee on it you end up with art!
