Now that's a Mexican Hat I don't want on my head LOL. Great find and shooting, knowing just how small a Mexican Hat is you were getting down into your work here Carol. Well done in every way #1274391

Nope, it won't go near my head (and probably not my camera, either)! :-) Love these flowers, and you captured this one beautifully -- and the bee, too! #8658527
