I went for another wander at work when the wildflowers were blooming bright. So many flowers!

Box Elder Bugs at various stages of life. We had a ton of these all over. They get inside the building all the time, and you can even find them inside in the middle of winter.

I think this one’s better. Mountains, clouds, and you can see all of the toothy arm. Much better composition, but not as many flowers.

And a little Box Elder Bug. He’s kind of blurry, but it’s a very nice shadow of the flower around him.

Another almost decent picture of a bee. There were a couple little bumbles with red stripes, but I could never catch them with the camera.

Another blossom on the wild carpet rose. This plant guards the way to my favorite deer trail on the property.

On that hidden deer trail there are these plants with gigantic leaves. My foot is hiding in the bottom of the picture for size comparison.

I think these flowers are related to the white and purple one, but they’re droopy and pink instead of perky and purple. Slightly different, but still pretty.
