Charles.....how are you and thanks for the visit....I think i sent this to Alex as well.....I dont think these were babies, they were nesting there.....i thought they were the parents.... Hope you have a wonderful Holiday season.... Trish~
Charles, I found you on BugGuide.net and I'm hoping you might be able to help me out. I'm looking for a 300 dpi or larger photo of a specific bee - an agapostemon splendens, female if possible - for an award we give out annually for volunteer work on National Wildlife Refuges. (Last year's winner: http://refugeassociation.org/new-events/2008NWRSawardsAnnounced.html#toc03)
The woman who is this year's volunteer of the year, has been doing work on these bees at several National Wildlife Refuges in New Jersey and she is particularly fond of them. Unfortunately, although our organization has a photo contest (which you should enter by the way!) we don't have many of insects, and none of bees.
Please let me know if you may be able to help us out with a photo.
Thanks so much, Desiree Sorenson-Groves

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, I've been kind of busy. But I hope to stop by later and view some of your photos.
In the meantime, I wanted to say "Hi" and to also give you this link to a really funny goat video at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMZIbRjmodc Hope you enjoy it! It makes me laugh every time. :-)
