Hi back! Thanks for your kind words. Nursing is a pretty handy "day job" for those of us to like to have fun in our "real" life, isn't it? :)
hey, lisa...happy to meet you! i live between detroit lakes and moorhead, and am now your newest follower. i'm also a former choir member, informal naturalist, and rn...seems we have a lot in common. thanks for the compliment on the bee fly...i was stunned to see one! (btw-your spottings are fantastic!!)
Perfect shot. I've never seen one of these in person, I'll keep an eye out now, BTW, I grew up in Pine River, not too far from your google ID.
Beautiful,
