Since watching the jungles episode of Planet Earth II I was really excited for an opportunity to photograph this hummingbird with a quite crazy adaptation. The long bill allows it to feed on tubular flowers not accessible for other hummingbirds thus creating an advantage. Little is know about the nesting rituals of this bird, word is BBC is on the hung to find their first nest.

I seem to be unable to stay in my usual groove here for MELO... so here's a fun 1:1 sword that's way unlike anything I've ever done before!
I was hoping to finish this in time for Summer Joust, but although I did finish a prelim version of the sword, there was no way I was getting photos edited in time--and if you're not going to do it right, no sense in doing it at all! So, I built myself some spikes and borrowed my brother's epic cape ;)
As for the sword itself, it's not exactly swooshable, but it's sturdy and moves well through the air if you're careful. And it is super fun!
I also got to integrate some brand new constraction pieces I picked up just last Friday, so that was cool!
