    It was such a beautiful day that I took my sewing box and went to set outside to finish that last quilt block. But, a hummingbird buzzed my head so I got up and refilled the feeders. There were several buzzing around chasing each other. I managed to get a couple of pictures. Then, I spotted a dove sitting way up in a tree and zoomed in on him. It's as big as I could make it without it going all fuzzy. I almost finished my quilt block, too. I just have to make some grass for Pooh to sit in while he is reading to Piglet. It's the last of nine for a quilt for dr's niece's baby. Pictures, now.

    It is such a pleasure to see those birds.
    It really was nice weather there, wasn't it?
    Keep working on that quilt.

    Oh Dooley...I just can't wait to putter around my yard the way you did today! I miss watching the Hummingbirds too.

    Great shots Dooley. Like the jewel-like colours of the hummingbird in piccie number two.

    Really looking forward to seeing the quilt finished - I just know it's going to look slendid.

    I especially like the green hummingbird. It looks like an emerald. Hmm, note to self: need to plant flowers that will attract more hummers. Thanks for the picts.
