A queen Brown Belted bumblebee, Bombus griseocollis, on Butterfly Weed, Asclepias, also known as Swamp Milkweed. Queens are the only ones to survive the winter; they emerge in the spring and start foraging in preparation to begin a new colony. While consuming the sweet stuff offered by the flowers, she picks up sticky gold pollen and transfers it from plant to plant.

I'm a photographer in Minneapolis, interested in many things. Sometimes I start with a plan, and sometimes something just catches my eye. I like to come up with my own spin on a subject and create an image with some sort of a twist. And when I know what I want, I'll spend a lot of time getting it.
