"A flash of harmless lightning,
A mist of rainbow dyes,
The burnished sunbeams
brightening
From flower to flower
he flies."
John B. Tabb
"A buoyant, large-headed duck
that abruptly vanishes and
resurfaces as it feeds, the
tiny Bufflehead spends winters
bobbing in bays, estuaries,"
All About Birds
"In the sweetness of friendship
let there be laughter,
and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed."
Khalil Gibran
"Across the downs a hummingbird
Came dipping through the bowers,
He pivoted on emptiness
To scrutinize the flowers."

ReplyDeleteThey are the sweetest, sometimes oddest, little creatures 😊😊
ReplyDeleteI am so lucky when humming birds check out my flowers, they are always a special joy to be around.

And the Hummingbird carries a spear on his nose
ReplyDeleteHummingbirds fill me with awe. And I do love ducks. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to attract very many hummingbirds. But my sister who lives about 10 miles from me has them all the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet wee hummingbird!
ReplyDeleteWe love the Hummers here. We even have them feeding during winter. Brrr!
ReplyDeleteInteresting waterbird the Bufflehead. We have them occasionally at our pond.
