Sea Hummingbirds (and Bee Sharks)

On September 9, Em imagines sea hummingbirds for her sister Tammy:

Maybe you can start a whole new genealogy. The sea hummingbirds, who have scales instead of feathers, and both lungs and gills

Here is a sea hummingbird:



And--unrelated to this day in Pen Pal-- some time ago I also promised a picture of a bee shark for Benjanun Sriduangkaew, @bees_ja on Twitter:

I love the bee shark best. It is really cute.

One time for a crazy orienteering meet I dressed up as a bee. I rented a bee costume and put yellow and black stripes on my face and neck. (A tour bus filled with tourists saw me at a stop light while I was driving to the meet. They all pointed at me from their windows)

I was a roving control which meant I got to buzz all over the place in section of forest about 30' x 30' and people running the race had to tag me to get their control card punched. I think I got more running done at that meet than any of the others where I had been a participant.

You were like the golden snitch! You were like a human ball! I can just *bet* you got more running done!
