In celebration of the season's first bumble bee

Other people mark the first appearance of swallows as the great turning point of the year, me, I like my winged messangers a litte smaller. This afternoon I spied my first bumble bee since winter started. Past experience suggests we're still months away from the emergence of most of this year's queens put it's an exciting event all the same.

Sadly when I spotted the early messanger I bereft of camera so I will mark this event with a pic from last summer, one of the very first I took with the camera my dad gave me to play with and I have since effectively stolen, hopefully I'll get some better ones this year!

A bumble bee is caught, with its tongue out and just out of focus as it makes its way between foxglove flowers
