__02/27/13__ Bee on Flower
It's my annual bee-on-flower photo, in honor of my first daily photo ever! I've made a point to go back around the end of every year to get a similar photo in tribute. I was successful for years 1-3, but last year it didn't work out because there were simply no bees- so I was happy it worked out today! This isn't the cherry tree, but a much smaller pink-blossomed plant nearby.
And now we have 364 photos in this gallery - stay tuned for #365! And then it's on to Year 6...

[last year]
This swallowtail caterpillar, like several others, was more than happy to defoliate my dill plant.
