A honey bee pays a visit to the brilliant purple flowers of a sage plant in Colorado.
Details: For about two weeks in early summer, the salvia (sage) plants in Colorado bloom with their delicate purple flowers. These weeks bring hundreds of bees to each plant including this little one who stopped just long enough for a photo. A hint for photographers learning to shoot flowers, an overcast day like this one makes it easier to catch color and fine detail.
