Trumpeting

This flower seemed the perfect match to my life right now. It's from the trumpet vine, which is an invasive plant that sends out runners and has thousands of seeds each season to drive me crazy, but it also has very pretty flowers that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollen seekers. I was out picking up almonds and didn't have my good camera and saw the coolest flying bug, very large body in a yellowish color with a black stripe down the center horizontally. I got a picture with the small camera but it doesn't do it justice so this is the only decent picture I've got for the day...figures, the way today has gone, best to just go with it!
