[Leica] IMG: Friday Triptich

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Ric.  As I have said to some others, bumble bees have been 
missing, at least in my immediate area, for several years.  All we had 
were carpenter bees.  I'm happy to see the bumbler. :-)

Then, for the first time in several years, I found a Bumble Bee on one of the blossoms.  In recent years, all I have found were Carpenter Bees.  So, I decided that my Friday flower should consist of all of these.
