    I don't think I will ever tire of watching those tiny hummingbirds...they are so much fun to watch and so------------fast.

    Neither wonder I enjoy seeing your photographs so much Sherry when you show us such wonderful shots of your birds. :-D
    Could I possibly ask if I can send copies of your hummingbirds to my daughter as she's never seen these tiny creatures before?

    Well, I won't tire of looking at your pictures of the birds either...but you know that already, don't you. ;)

    It is neat to have the hummers around.

    Yes, Eileen share my pictures with your daughter. Feel free to share any of them.

    Netty...I feed grape jam to the orioles...they love it and the house finches love it too. I do go through a lot of it in a summer.

    You all know how I love flowers but since I have been taking pictures of the birds I think my love of the birds has taken first place...

    I love watching the parents feed the young...I have a few pictures I have to download of that, I hope they turned out so I can share them.

    Hi Sjoerd...yes, I know you appreciate the birds..How are things going? Keeping busy in the garden? We need rain here...lawns are turning brown and I am lucky to be able to water my flowers...Sherry

    Hi Kildale...I sure wish I get to photograph as many bird types as you have...they are all so fascinating..

    Things are going well, Sherry. Thanks for asking.
    The flower garden is approaching it's high point now and the veg is beginning to present itself for harvest in small quantities.
    In a couple of weeks I won't have a free moment. I don't dread it though; I look foreward to it, as it is what I strive toward.
