I took other photos in Arizona, but this is the best. It's two bees inside the cup of a pumpkin flower. I used a flash. Warning: this one is extra-big when you click on it (because it's extra-awesome).
Strange seed-pod flowerish thing. It's sort of hard to see in this reduced version, but there is a little fly near the middle of this image, sitting on a seed pod.
I'm a writer living in Portland, Oregon, focusing on the intersection between technology and daily life. I'm currently working on a series of historical fiction books for middle readers, and you can catch my work in the latest issue of Mental Floss magazine; I also write a daily blog at the same location.
