A couple from Carp Ridge.

A Sweat Bee at Spreading Dogbane. Sweat bees (so named because they occasionally land on people to drink sweat) are not as well known as their larger relatives, honeybees and bumblebees, but they are important pollinators.
Common Yellowthroats nest in wet areas with dense undergrowth. They are skulky by nature, but the skulkiness is in a tug-of-war with curiosity. When a large mammal bumbles into their territory, they sometimes can't resist popping out into the open for a moment to have a look at you. It's then only a matter of firing the shutter fast enough! This one was at the edge of one of Carp Ridge's many beaver ponds.

I really like the second pic. It looks like the flowers are reaching for the bee; the color combination is excellent too.
