Had a Yucus family reunion of sorts at Lowell Park in Dixon today. All of my Grandma Hansen's extended family was there, including my aunts, uncles, first cousins and a few in-laws and beaus.
Took to the trails to see what I could find. It's a beautiful park, and the sun was shining down through the trees with very lovely golden hues.
I didn't find any great "sun shining on something beautiful" shots, but I did find some bugs inspecting a few wildflowers. I positioned myself as close as I could, and let them do their thing. It's safe to say I'm getting hooked on "macro" photography.

| It appears what we have here is a condylostylus dining on an American Bellflower (thanks to Matt Baker for help with IDs). As per the fly, those wings look so incredibly delicate. |
 |
| Hanging around at the office. It's a bug's life. |
 |
| Coming in for the landing (I love the cross-shpaed shadow of the stigma courtesy of the aforementioned golden sun). |
 |
| This guy looks content, lapping up some nectar. But as always is the case in nature, he's never quite safe.... (Note the little orange circle underneath him.) |
 |
....it turns out there's always a little trouble in paradise.

 |
| Just in case bugs aren't your thing, a solo shot of a flower for the ladies. |
