Just as I was composing a shot of this young sunflower, a bee flew in to see if there was any pollen. A lucky break for me. Hope the bee got something good too.

Sidewalk puddle
Sir Paul McCartney
It was a bit of an adventure getting to Miller Park last night, but my friend and I made it. Once there, we found massive amounts of people in line at the stadium gates. The rumor was, the sound check took longer than expected, and the gates opened an hour later than originally scheduled. After about 30-40 minutes of inching our way forward we eventually got in, and made the climb to our seats in the upper deck.
I’d been looking forward to this show for a while. I have never seen Paul McCartney perform live before, and heard real good things about the shows on this current tour. I was not disappointed. Sir Paul played with Springsteen like stamina: 38 songs over a 2 hour and 45 minute show that would put musicians half his age to shame.

Inspired by coneflowers
I can always count on a visit to Olbrich Botanical Gardens when I’m in need of some inspiration.
Early yesterday evening, it was this patch of coneflowers.
