Day One Hundred Thirty Four 2013

My daughter Holly gave me this beautiful Hummingbird feeder for Mother’s Day, plus some Hummingbird food mix. I filled it up today and placed it where I can keep an eye on it. I’m told I should plant some red flowers, as Hummingbirds are attracted to that particular color. I plan to do that soon. We’ve had one Hummingbird come to our yard the past two years, so maybe he/she will visit my new feeder. And maybe invite his/her friends to lunch.

Day Two Hundred Nineteen 2011

My little hummingbird friend came back again this afternoon. Even with my long lens, it was hard to get a really good shot of him. I didn't want to stand any closer and scare him away. In some of the pictures, he looks like a butterfly or maybe a stealth aircraft. He was crazy fast. I wonder if he ever stops.

Day Two Hundred Eighteen 2011

I was on the deck this afternoon, ready to snap a picture of my colorful Lantana, when this little hummingbird suddenly appeared in my viewfinder. I was already focused on the flower, so I got off one click of the shutter before he was gone. Pretty cool. I think they call this serendipity.
