Hummingbird Morning
Sub Adult Rufous HummingbirdThis morning I digitally captured him as he waited on a twig of the Cistena plum... waiting to chase away the other hummingbirds that dare to intrude upon his territory.
An Old Cold Spot
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 the make and model that

I just looked at my comment - yikes.
Well the hummingbird is very pretty.
Very Nice!
;)
Can't help but wonder what sort of camera you use — love the contrast, the color. And the mere fact that he looks perfectly still, though hummingbirds seldom are.
Sounds almost like a line from a sci-fi movie or book Pamela, but it is a beautiful photo, congratulations on your perseverance.
I want to come live with you for a week, lol. Your life seems so quaint and peaceful!
wow, those little birds are elusive. great pic
Wow look at height of those sun flowers... '
I accepted the 'dare' that you posted on Coffeypot's blog, and checked out some of your tags. Junk? Hardly! You're as dedicated a blogger as I've encountered, and interesting to boot. Great photography, too; I'll be back.
Nice meeting you,
