Bee on Thistle

I have been super busy for the last week (and will be for one or two more weeks...). I have been working from 9am to 9pm every day in the lab for a very important project... I still photograph in my garden in the early morning or late evening (luckily still bright at 10pm), or around the lab in my lunch break. When I get home, I am exhausted and did not have much energy left to update my blip... 

There are many thistles around the lab, and bees are very stable when they are on thistles.
