Ants farming

Some ants on the way to work. They have set up an aphid farm on a red flowered yucca (I think it is Hesperaloe parviflora) and are busily at work milking their charges. I had set out to photograph the really nice pink/red/coral yucca blossoms that are everywhere in New Mexico this time of year, but, well, the ants were a lot more interesting.
