explorers...

explorers..., a photo by credd on Flickr.

this morning when i was out watering my garden...
and photographing its progress...
i saw the shadow of something thru the petals.

i dropped the hose...
and went inside to get another lens.

i pulled the flower down...
and there was the beetle.
the gnat was a bonus.

i just love the fuzziness of the sunflower stem!!!
