Shades of summer


I finally got to the the marsh with my camera this afternoon, the first time in four days, what with the rainy weather we've been experiencing. Not a whole lot has changed, except there was a decided absence of land birds, other than the blue jays. I was a little surprised to see this bumble bee gathering nectar from a New England Aster blossom. I'm sure the unseasonably warm temperatures of the last few days may have something to do with the reason this bee was still active.
