While I was walking around looking for nice Star Thistle blossoms to photograph, I noticed this bee. It was totally oblivious to me so I was able to take lots of pictures. Sadly, it was on the shady side of the flower, which made it hard for me to get properly-exposed images. I've been able bring back a lot of detail but it would have been nicer if it had moved into the sunshine! :D
