One for @hansung - I processed this but am not entirely happy with it, so feel free to critique my processing!

male - not technically a bee (Bees were introduced to North America by the Spanish in the 1700's), but an example of convergent evolution and an important pollinator nevertheless

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufous_hummingbird):

-- small hummingbird, about 8 cm long (3 inches) with a long, straight and very slender bill.
-- These birds are known for their incredible flight skills. Some are known to fly 2,000 miles
-- during their migratory transits.

I can tell you that they are pretty aggressive in early Spring and will attack anything (including buzzing
any nosy photographers, that's a nasty little bill to see coming at your eyes). Their rolling dogfights with
the resident Anna's Hummingbirds are really impressive!

Renewal that fills and thrills
Spring that spills in rills
Wot, no Daffodils? (no, not yet)

the fiddle heads were up a week or two ago
by the next day they were unrolled, they get
a little more interesting (to me) when the
central leaves unfurl (in a whirl)

It's spring here in Vancouver, and the cherry blossoms are out - at least for now. We've had snow and lots of rain since, but it's nice the weather was good for the visitors. I just hope they don't think it's always nice here. The first winter I was here, I think it rained for ninety days straight. We call it "liquid sunshine" here on the wet coast.
