Taken in May of 2016 at the Palmwood Lodge in Lusaka
I’m back from travels in Thailand, Zambia, and the UAE with lots of new photos. This is an African species of Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa caffra) hanging from a flower. Lusaka was in full bloom, despite the fact that it’s [southern hemisphere] winter there and the weather was cool.
Taken on April 10, 2016 in Amritsar
We watched a chipmunk tug a blanket up a tree in the garden of the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama in Amritsar. It was neither a small cloth nor a small tree. (But the heart of that rodent was huge.) It’s a beautiful garden, and the museum is highly undervalued by the “must-visit” lists–e.g. as TripAdvisor. If you’re in Amritsar, give it a try.
This is the tree in question.
And here are some flower photos from the garden.

I know I’ve given you a somewhat blurry photo, but it wouldn’t be the championship edition of NAME THAT FRUIT! otherwise.
