Albino.
Edit: It might be leucistic, it might not. I’m no expert. But it is worth noting that, although it might be difficult to tell in some of the photos, but it does have the classic red albino eyes. The darker coloring you see in some pics is all thanks to shadows (and my camera).

Black squirrel? I’ve lived my entire life on the US East Coast (albeit, south of NYC) and I’ve only ever seen a squirrel this dark once before. Is this a subspecies or does this particular squirrel just have some extra pigmentation?

At least 2 honey-type-looking bees buzzing around the catmint at Reston Farm Garden Market. A few individuals of other bee species were also flitting around the area, nibbling on both the catmint and some hyssop a few inches over. But these two seemed to ignore every other plant in the place, keeping almost exclusively to the catmint.

Butterfly peacefully chowing down on some nectar at Merrifield Garden Center, before getting rudely interrupted by a couple of bees. The bees were a bit pushy, but not aggressive, though, so after some posturing, they all figured out how to share.
