Okay, here's the rest of the shots from my last walk in the Hedge...
I actually got in front a very large bee. Check out the weird bee eyes! I believe this is a Bull Thistle flower.

Another chicory flower. I love the way the tips of the stamens are such a bright white while the stalks are dark gray.

A buckeye butterfly lands on some prairie grass.

This is a milkweed plant.

These are milkweed beetles. Go figure.

I was worried about this bee for a while. He was so still while I was shooting, I was afraid he was dead. But not so much. He crawled around after a few minutes, but his wings did seem pretty badly damaged. I wonder if this is an 'old' bee?
