Native plants are gaining some leaves and our bulbs are blooming. It's nice to find some things to shoot! The house fly pollinating the tulip was a new one for me. The dead fly in another tulip worries me a bit since we haven't sprayed anything.

Maybe a spider bit the fly.
Nice shot of the crab. He has a long reach!

Even with that reach, it didn't have much luck during the windy day.

The middle leg is tucked under (I think). The flower stamen is pressing down from the top. The fly was wiggling for a bit, and then flew off.
