a photograph from Wednesday while the sun was still out full blast. The little black dude on the left was on

the thistle first, the much larger bee with the gold markings was the interloper, flew in, landed beside the

smaller one, stuck out its left foreleg and gave the little one a massive push. The little dude didn't give, he

(she) raised its right foreleg and pushed back. The two of them spent the next 15 or 20 seconds pushing

like hell against each other, doing that "loop your arm over the other guy's arm and shove him with your

elbow" move, fighting for the advantage, while they worked their way across the flower......and both of em

with head down foraging the entire time. The thistles are quickly going to puff-ball and disappearing on the

wind, so there is immense pressure on all who forage on them to "get it while it's there<div></div>

<p>Here are some cricket photos from a match I attended last Thursday. Middlesex played somerset in the Royal London One-Day Cup at Lord's Cricket Ground.<br /> Somerset won.<br>

These were taken with a 7D+300/4+1.4X - I'm looking forward to trying out my 400/2.8 on some serious cricket<br>

<p>With the Super Moon last weekend and the concurring high tide, the marshes on the Great South Bay are at their most beautiful.</p><div></div>

<p>Yesterday was a "watershed moment" for Long Island with a record amount of rain in one day. The incoming cold front showed a bit of flare with an amazing sky last evening.</p><div></div>

<p>There was only one other person on the beach to see this amazing sight.</p><div></div>

<p>Great work this week, as always. I especially like Katherine's cloud photos.</p>

<p>Here's a Boeing 757 on short final to LAX on a misty evening.</p><div></div>

<p>Looks like Southwest is going to find the runway.</p><div></div>

<p>This is when you get really tired.</p><div></div>

<p>Katherine, that looks like a funnel cloud trying to develop, great capture....that same storm passed thru here the day before it got to you</p><div></div>
