J20170914-0076—Helianthus californicus w syrphid fly—RPBG—DxO

            Helianthus californicus—California sunflower with syrphid fly. I have posted several photos of these sunflowers against a cloudless California sky over the years. This year (2017) I came across a pollinator just waiting to for its beauty shot. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA
