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...
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...
Quirky Lisa (Lisa's Chaos) is today's Hostess with the mostess quirks. She used the following instructions to enlighten us about today's topic: A quirk is defined as a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism. We are all unique individuals, having quirks that help make us who we are. I would like to know what your quirks are. Confess to one, confess to ten, you decide. Just come back Monday ready to spill the beans, the rest of the world may look at you like you are from Mars, but you‘re among friends here. We won’t laugh, in fact that eccentricity just may endear you to us more. Well ...I'm being as quirky as Swampwitch today. I'm sorta following the rules, and sorta not. Instead of hearing about my boring quirkiness, you are being treated to an old story about a quirky cat. * * * * Daggett was a cat with very odd behavior. I like to think she channeled my monthly mood swings. But, her excuse may be that her head was slightly injured in a c...
