A yard at one of the sales had some beautiful salvia in full bloom which was attracting many bees. A bumblebee was among them, stuffing her leg sacks full of pollen. Really wanted to get a good picture of her, but she wouldn't cooperate...then I tried my luck with a couple of honeybees, but I had some trouble getting the camera to focus on the buzzing insects...
