    The Fascination Continues

    I’ve been so busy with work that I haven’t had opportunity to stop and check how my new hummingbird feeder is working for our tiniest of neighbors.  However, today when I got home I noticed there were quite a few hummers in the neighborhood, all vying for a place at the watering hole.  I took minute (actually, a FEW) to capture the moment…it REALLY does take a lot of patience to catch these beautiful creatures on camera!

    I’m moving my blog to WordPress.  I’ll still keep my blog on Blogspot.com, but I really like the possibilities that WordPress has to offer. If you are a follower, then move over and join me here.

She immediately hovered around my feet, growling in her puppy voice to warn the siblings to stay away. She claimed me, I guess, first and foremost.   I have spoiled her, no doubt. She loves attention and affection and demands it on a second by second basis. She is persistent to a fault and never takes no for an answer.
