Enjoying the Blossoms

Over the weekend, I stopped at my favourite tree in the spring time, a massive apple tree in full bloom. I thought I had missed it, as everything is blooming earlier this year, but I caught it at the perfect time. I was watching all the bees buzzing around, and the odd butterfly, when I could hear a hummingbird flying around. I scanned the tree and eventually found this female Rufous Hummingbird also enjoying the tree. I was so happy that I was able to snap some photos of her, she was hidden by the flowers most of the time, but would come out into the open just long enough to get a photo.
