Dragon Fly @ Lake Pelham - Culpeper Virginia

This Dragon Fly is posing on a branch at
 Lake Pelham. The details of the arms holding the 
bronze branch are my favorite part of this image.
The contrast of the clear sky and the simplicity 
of the branch make it look like the Dragon Fly 
is carrying the branch rather than resting on it. 
Another part of life in Culpeper Virginia.

Honey Bee @ Culpeper Farmers Market BUZZ

Bob of Amissville Bees had a guest visitor come to  
his booth this afternoon. He placed some honey on 
his finger and the bee stayed and ate the honey
until it was gone. The bee flew away to come back 
for seconds when Bob had placed more honey on
 his finger. Bob said that a Bee did that for 4 days 
 recently. If Bee's like his honey.... I just had to buy
some to find out what all of the BUZZ was about!
