This bee fly really liked Rough Blazing Star. It started at the lowest flower, worked its way up the spike to the top, flew off, then came back and did the same route over and over. At the time I wasn't sure if I was seeing one fly or a succession of them, but the slightly damaged wingtips visible in several photos convinces me they're all of the same individual.

What lovely, jewel-like images!

In all of these images, I like way the fly's sharply detailed coloring harmonizes with the blurred background colors, and the way the coloring of fly and background contrasts with the colors of the blossoms.

I particularly like the composition of the fourth one in this series, and its clarity of focus on the blossoms (as well as the fly).

Much appreciated!
