Sunflowers and a cute little pest!

When I first saw this green and black spotted bug I thought it was a green lady bug.  After researching, I discovered there is no such insect!  This cute little bug is a major agricultural pest, as it eats or damages the leaves of crops.  Along with a few images of this beetle, there are also some macro images of sunflowers to include one with a honeybee.  Did I mentioned that I LOVE sunflowers!  Enjoy!

Sunset Buckboard Adventure!

We enjoyed an evening of food and fellowship with some good friends Saturday night.  After dinner, my hubby "saddled up" the 24-horse tractor and the kids pulled their parents on the buckboard!  Here are a few of my favorites images from the buckboard adventure!  Enjoy!
