Rosemary loves company - bees, damselflies, and butterflies

I took these photos in my back yard on a warm, sunny morning in January. I wandered over to my raised bed of rosemary and found it to be a popular place.

This bee has gathered a good supply of pollen already, helping to keep its hive going over the winter.

Several hairstreak butterflies were gathering nectar from the rosemary flowers. This one opened its wings and held still long enough for me to get a photo.
