Sleepy bee on crocus - a photo on Flickriver

            Yesterday was a beautiful early spring morning and the sunshine made the crocus flowers in the garden open up so I went out with my camera to take a look.  Inside this purple one was a bumblebee just beginning to wake up in the sun's warmth.  It must have slept inside the flower to protect it from the freezing temperatures overnight.  Nothing says that spring has sprung quite so much as a bumblebee having a kip inside a crocus.
