| Brooklyn smells like roses this week. |
Well, maybe not everywhere -- but the parks smell great. I was home for a week-long stay-cation and I took a walk in nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park every day. The air was sweet with the scent of roses and I recommend a visit while they are still in bloom. And when you pause to smell them, take a look inside.

| You might find a rose weevil, making holes. |
 |
| Or a lovely half-green sweat bee. |
 |
| Or maybe a honeybee with its pollen sacs full of yellow rose pollen. |
 |
| Or a Japanese beetle. Click on the photos to enlarge. |
 |
| Or even a pair of common eastern bumblebees double-teaming. |
 |
| There's lots more going on in there. Take a look. And a sniff. |
