Dragon Fly

Not 용집파리. It made the kids laugh, though.

First bumblebee of the year

Though this photo is from last year, the first bumblebee of the year—same species, which I don’t know—just flew through.

A birdhouse in the back I built for chickadees is currently filled with the eggs of a different species of bumblebee; slumbering through the flowerless seasons. No good photos yet because they're quite a bit more aggressive than most bumblebees and have sent me running for safety several times. They are beautiful with bright red and yellow bands.

Another bumblebee photo from last year.
