Thanks, Steven....
...it does look like that. Anyone have another opinion?

This pic was taken last Summer in Weatherford, Texas. My Father lives outside Weatherford at a place called "Horseshoe Bend", kind of a living 'community'. He flies experimental planes, and there is a landing strip beside his house where dozens of wildflowers bloom along the edges in the Spring & Summer, with all the attending 'bugs'. I am just now getting to my 'winter' project of sorting and IDing all the pics I take in Spring & Summer, a daunting project...I take hundreds of pics, and sort them later...never ending! Thanks for your help! Happy New Year!
