    For some reason I have always loved toads but I have to say my favorite is the hummingbirds and the hummingbird moth!

    I actually never even saw a hummingbird until about 6 years ago and stumbled across one at one of my flowers - had no idea what it was! When someone clued me in, I couldn't get a hummingbird feeder fast enough and have been enjoying them all summer ever since.

    You must try to take some photographs of your hummingbirds for us Lee. I'm from the UK so never get the chance to see these tiny birds in real life.

    Eileen - I would love too get some photos!

    They're pretty fast though so it might be hard. I work from home and I have a bird feeder set up right outside my window so I can peek out at the birds all day - tomorrow I think it will be time to put the hummingbird feeder alongside it.

    I'll have my camera at the ready! Probably won't get much work done though :)

    Good luck with your camera Lee. :-D I think you need quite a few breaks from work during the day so let's hope the hummingbirds stay still long enough for you to take their pictures!! :stew2:
