Hummingbird

A  L  O  H  A !
"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 
                                Link






"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."
              Nathalia Crane

They are the sweetest, sometimes oddest, little creatures 😊😊

I am so lucky when humming birds check out my flowers, they are always a special joy to be around.

Hummingbirds reliably brighten any garden or picture.

Great bird shots! I like the hummingbird, of course, but those bufflehead ducks are amazing! Thanks for brightening my day.

Hummers are so pretty- and quite territorial!

Hummingbirds fill me with awe. And I do love ducks. Thank you.

I've never been able to attract very many hummingbirds. But my sister who lives about 10 miles from me has them all the time.

What a sweet wee hummingbird!

We love the Hummers here. We even have them feeding during winter. Brrr!
Interesting waterbird the Bufflehead. We have them occasionally at our pond.
