So Scott, do you believe in pollen rapture?
I do, but I'm in a minority here. However, many bees and beetles seem to agree with me!

Heavenly Bliss
This fellow obviously seems to be in a blissful state just as I am when I find a bush or tree with buzzing insect to photograph. Keep up you great photo work.
