Be still my heart!
For a long time, I have tried to lure hummingbirds into our yard, with no success. I've seen a few dart around the neighborhood on a few occasions, but have never been successful in feeding them. BUT apparently my lowly, unappreciated morning glories attracted them, because I saw one a few weeks ago feeding on the fragile blossoms. Excitedly, I put out my hummingbird feeder which, until now, had only attracted ants and bees. To my great excitement, the hummers started showing up on a regular basis. And finally this morning I had some time to wait patiently with my camera for them to appear. They did not disappoint, and were flitting around me and even posing for pictures! I can't tell you how excited I was! But I can show you!
So, so, so excited!!!!

BREATHTAKING MOM!
ReplyDeleteWhat a rare opportunity.. you sure took advantage of it and these pictures are absolutely beautiful.
Oh! I can just hear what your mom would say. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's clapping with joy.
ReplyDeleteI notice you also got some nice pictures of the aforementioned bees!
Ah, yes you noticed the bees. Only they aren't the real thing -- they are little wasps. Nuisances!!!
DeleteAwesome photos of a sweet little female! Yay Kate! (BTW, you can get bee guards to put on the feeder spouts and ant blocks - or put vaseline on the thingy you hang it with and the ants can't cross it) Love your FB note too - Cooooool!
ReplyDeleteAugust is always the month that they are here the most- but I finally put my feeder up a few years ago when the neighbors said they get them all summer -so now I do too. just love them!
