This is of some purple flowers towering upward & a bumble bee up hight above. In between is all blue sky..how appropriate!
Flying so high! A little out of focus but I love it.

In the Pride of purple and blue,
The isle of Madeira shines.
In its blossoms hue,
A cone that is sublime.

Rufous hummingbird. I shot for 3 hours in heavy rain. Thankfully my OM System gear has IP53 rating. A great outing, pretty sure I was grinning the whole time.

I know weather & seasons ≠ climate but this “winter” has been so weird that the insects are discombobulated. Normally, when these echium flower they are covered in bees collecting pollen. But they’ve flowered so early that there are hardly any bees. #ClimateBreakdown #Epping3076 #PrideOfMadeira
Pride of Madeira in purple, blue, and pink. Beloved by bees.
