Day 171: Another Bee on Echinacea

More auroral in large.

Back to the wildflower meadow, and back to the honey bees on coneflowers (cf.)...
It was the fiery background glow that made me pick this particular take over this one. This picture seemed more representative of my day (packing!), and I was also rather taken by the vibrancy of this foraging halictid.

This time tomorrow I'll be en route home, and out of here for good!

Today's other macros from the wildflower meadow are on Flickr here (or right from my alternative)
