Great picture. For a moment I thought it was a science fiction movie...

White heron.

Can't find a good image match. Must be an imported garden flower.

Bumblebees are insects, just as are true bugs. Different orders though. True bugs are Hemiptera and bees/wasps are Hymenoptera.

General Entomology lesson over.

From the photo, it matches pretty well with yellow-faced bumblebee.

The flower is fireweed.

Fuchsia... Not sure of the species, but from the photo, possibly Fuchsia magellanica from southern South America.

Probably a daisy.

The insect is a flower fly (hover fly).

The flower might be a fall dandelion. There are several many petal yellow flowers in that area but that species seems to match your photo.

It is a good one! A bee fly.

You should look up Bruce and Andrea. You must be nearly neighbors now.

So where is this? It’s since I was back also.

Brilliant.

Welcome to Portland!

Great pics! I enjoyed the ride! (and I get it about the wind... brushing against insanity at times)

Agreed, but majestic nonetheless.
