Bee Alighting on Purple Flower

My kids make fun of me because I'll often wander off the beaten path during a hike to chase a butterfly or bumblebee. This beautiful creature buzzing about an equally beautiful flower was taken near the lovely streets of Tarrytown, New York, along the Hudson River. [it was actually shot outside of a funeral home; hope that last statement doesn't kill the buzz]
