Some digger bees in action

Before supper, James and I visited Blanco State Park so James could get some photos of the Blanco River roaring over the two dams. (Thank you, Mother Nature, for sending some heavy rains Tuesday night.) While he was doing that, I sat down on a ornamental concrete bench that overlooks the river. Right away, I saw a bee approach below me. Then she disappeared into a nest burrow dug into the granite gravel. I also noted that there was more than one coming and going from the hole. Naturally, this bee watching occupied me until James returned from filming. I'm not sure what kind of solitary bees these were, but I'm working on it.
