The Arctic blast inbound for the #KC-area has me thinking of warmer times. Here's a #macro shot of a bee dining on some #Missouri-native Tall Thistle.

I took this photo last September while visiting a crazy rare #RemnantPrairie owned by #PowellGardens.

Folks seemed to really like a photo I shared from a recent prairie visit. So here's another: I believe this is an #EasternCarpenterBee I don't know the plant.

Ugh, Mondays suck.

So here's a regal fritillary I spotted a few months ago while exploring some remnant prairie with @Jillianmarisa and our Master Naturalist group.
