Mary Jean Fahey caught this bee "buzzing on a pansy" in Michigan City, Indiana.

Jamie Camfferman, of Joliet, sent in this photo of four baby robins that had hatched earlier that day. "The nest is built right on my front porch, on a table just outside my living room window, so it’s been incredible having a front row seat to the nest being constructed (it’s quite a science!), eggs laid, to now hungry hatchlings," Camfferman tells us.

Gloria Lopez captured the "sharing the intense light and color" at the famed Sagrada Familia during a pilgrimage visit to Barcelona with a group from Mundelein Catholic Church
