2013, Day 202 - BIF

I took a nice walk this morning and found one of my neighbors planted artichokes.  They're flowering right now and the bees are in seventh heaven.  It's fun to watch them dive in and out of the flower so I spent a few minutes to try to capture the bees in flight.  That is no easy task as they zip around like they're on speed thanks to the orgy of feeding at these massive blossoms.  I got a few good shots but this one is my favorite.
