Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. Not having traveled much in the past two years, Porch Point, America's vacation paradise remains my spot for most photos. The milkweed has only recently attracted Monarch butterflies (last year there were none). However, the bees find it a delightful place to while away the hours. (100mm Macro) I have been viewing your posts, but not commenting often. Hope everyone is remaining healthy and looking forward to the days when COVID is in the rearview mirror.

While not exactly the stained glass of church windows, Thad, those wings look just like the beveled clear glass of historic institutions and the homes of the Victorian era nouveau riche, which is more elegant by far.

Nice catch.
