[Leica] IMG: Rose of Sharon Visitors

[Jim Nichols]

The sun is shining once more after Ida's visit. I saw one large orange 
butterfly pass through the yard, but it didn't linger.  The Rose of 
Sharon blooms did attract some visitors.  This Skipper made itself at 
home inside a bloom:

Real Bumble Bees are seldom seen in recent years in my yard. Here, one 
is seen exiting a Rose of Sharon Bloom, his abdomen covered with hairy 
yellow rings:
