 Day 29 of 30 Flowers

More rain, so this is a shot from my visit to the park last week. I'm pretty sure I've ID'd the weed, but the bug has me baffled! Several hours on BugGuide didn't enlighten me so I may post it there later if no one here happens to know what it is.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, increased contrast, burnt centers of flowers and a few petals, increased contrast, added border, resized, sharpened with noise reduction.

A very pleasing floral image to view here, with a little bit of sunshine in the golden colors, and the little bug also adds interest.

Nice little scene. Are those little opera glasses on the tops of those petals. . . or tiny little muppets wondering what the bug is up to?!
