Yes, a green metallic bee.
Hopefully, you'll get an expert ID to genus.

You're welcome. And yes, they are pretty.
I started with butterflies, but now like bees and wasps better. Here's one that looks like yours, but do wait for an ID:
We have lots of images of green metallic bees here. For an overview, you can use the Browse feature. I've set up this link as an aid:
http://bugguide.net/node/view/7997/bgpage
If you click on Images while anywhere in that section, you'll see additional photos.
Welcome to Bug Guide. We hope to see more of you here!
