oh wow. great catch! Take all the credit for it! I would. =)
I tried humming bird feeders. Brian bought two of them for me for Mothers Day (Olivia helped with hints). I could invision humming bird oasis in my back yard. Oh please! They hate me and never come over to play. All I do is change the water and watch it mold.
Oh, I like pictures like this. All it is missing is a ghostly image of John Lennon in the background or something.
Hmm, that probably doesn't make much sense to you, so I'd better explain. Fifteen years ago or so, when my brother was in his John Lennon look-alike phase I got back a bunch of pictures that had, for whatever reason, his ghostly image somewhere on each print. They are, as you can imagine, a weird set of pictures..
I thought it was a COOL shot, a gift in lieu of the hummingbird. I mean, you can photograph hummingbirds ANYTIME they come to your feeder (well, in theory, lol)...but this was unexpected beauty.
I thnk it is fascinating - have you tried cropping it or playing with it in Photoshop. I think it could be an even more fascinating picture. May I play with it?
It must be so relaxing to watch the birds. . .I think they would just melt here into little puddles of sugar water. . .(Houston-"heat wave" that's really just normal August weather. . .sigh!!!)
Ha ha! I clicked on the picture to enlarge it even before you added the instructions, but then I promptly forgot to leave a comment! And now I'm leaving one that doesn't even say anything. Hmmmm, I gotta get my act together.

I love the picture. I'm always trying to catch the little guys where I work. We keep two feeders going. I really loved the picture earlier of the sunflowers.....WOW.
Well, I played with it a little. I hope, hope hope you don't mind! (If you do, let me know and I'll remove it at once from my blog.) It is a COOL image!
Pamela, Of course you can have your modified picture back - its like a collaboration! Seeing those trees made me homesick for Portland and then I read all about Hops picking in the Willamette Valley and that increased the nostalgia!!
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of...
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...
The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
