Grateful Mondays: Visual Delights

(No Ratings Yet)

Loading ...

There is a neighbor down the boardwalk here who has six resident hummingbirds populating the flower garden he’s grown on the side of the hill. Recently, I took a little early morning stroll and was able to catch this beautiful footage…

Can you spot the hummingbird in this shot?

I love these little guys. They’re like the little terriers of the bird world. Little bundles of energy who think they are bigger and tougher than they are. They’re very territorial and always squabbling with each other.

And they are sooo tiny… this guy wasn’t even as long as my thumb! You’ll see something shoot by like a bullet, thinking at first it’s a fat little bug, but then you realize, nope… that was one of the hummingbirds.

Oh Danielle, that is wonderful! I haven’t seen a hummingbird with red on it in ages!

Your thoughts? Post a comment!

I'm a straight-shooter, but I don't mince words. Don't be afraid to do likewise, but don't bother if you are thin-skinned. I only play with grown-ups and those who want to talk smart business. (If you want a pic to show with your comments, get a gravatar.)
