post it again, this time with attribution

I saw the beautiful image below--straight out of a children's story or a fable--on Facebook, but with no attribution. Some clever photographer had caught this moment of convivial interspecies refreshment, but who?

Fortunately, these days, you can put a photo's url into Google Images and search it out, and by doing so, I found it was by Toshiyasu Morita, a photographer who mainly makes portraits of cosplayers--but who also likes to photograph hummingbirds (and their bee friends).

Its original location on the interwebs is this post on Audubon California's blog.

So now we can make up stories about this hummingbird and those bees, and we can thank Mr. Morita for capturing the moment and sharing it with us.

Oh wow, I wonder! It all depends on whether the instructions for finding the healing spring were the real thing or a forgery, I suppose, and whether the deity they offended feels mollified or not.

Yes, that's the thing, I guess. How do you know what to believe? But at some point it doesn't matter. If you need to save your kingdoms from the Great Dying, you'll just have to do what the crazy wizard says because there are no other options...
