Capture the buzz of a summer garden with this charming macro photograph. The image centers on a vibrant Purple Coneflower (Echinacea), its soft lavender-pink petals drooping gracefully around the spiky, rusty-orange cone.

The real stars of the show are the two visitors sharing a moment: a fuzzy honeybee resting on the petals and a tiny hoverfly perched right next to it on the cone.

I just think #lupines are beautiful, and I was lucky in #Iceland at the time and found a late bloomer.

Today, I'm thankful for my #garden. I grow flowers, fruits, and veggies, though only flowers are portrayed here (yes, those are all from my garden!).

As I spent this weekend preserving apples, pumpkin, tomatoes... and cooking with zucchini, chives, basil... I was reminded of how connected we are to the earth, even after the growing season is done.

May I steward it well in all seasons.
