I put the Leica-R 60mm on the Fuji X-E1 today, before I toured the local 
plants.  Two things were apparent:  The Japanese Beetles are devouring 
many of the blooms, but the Carpenter Bees are doing their job of 
pollinating.  Here are two examples.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
