I have these Carpenter style bees, and they infest the wood on one side of my garage. but they are slow, and I usually take out a few dozen with a badminton racket. I hate to do it, but it seems a better plan that poisoning my children, the earth, etc. When you knock them down they go from life to lifeless, hope they had a good run.8

That was the best video game. The "stars" behind and streaking are terrific.

Beautiful, almost "stage lighting" on the two upper petals. Luscious was a good use of a descriptor.

( As an owner of an old house full of interesting articulations and shapes) this shot was especially pleasing, and well composed.
