Cross-Country Connections: Fast

Brianne Bilyeu

Cross-Country Connections is a Biodork weekly blog entry dedicated to telling stories in pictures of three family members – me, my sister and Mom – living in very different locations across the country. Every week we choose a different theme and then take or contribute a personal photo that fits the theme. This week’s theme is Fast.

From Erin in Bellingham, Washington:

A yarn swift in motion.

From Mom in Carbondale, Illinois:

A hummingbird at Mexican Hat, Utah.

From me in Minneapolis, Minnesota:

At first glance I thought this guy was a hummingbird – it was huge and moved with that same stilted motion that hummingbirds have when they zip from flower to flower – so it was a pleasure to learn that this guy is actually called a hummingbird moth.

    Just a note to hummingbird fans – the red dye may be harmful to the hummingbirds.

    Heat 1 cup water for two minutes in a microwave and very slowly and carefully add 1/4 cup of sugar. Dissolve, cool and use in the feeder.

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
