We enjoy the visits from our local Hummingbirds who usually show up in the late afternoon into the evening around dusk.
A friend recently gave me a bee balm plant. I’ve never had that particular flower before so was excited about the butterflies and bees it would attract. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting out back with my feet propped up on the pot I’d put the plant in, reading and enjoying the early morning sun, as has become my weekend routine. Suddenly I heard this little, almost buzzing sort of noise and felt a breeze on my foot. There not more than a few inches from my foot was the prettiest little humming bird looking right at me – as if to say, “Are you friend or foe?”. When he determined I was friend, he went about drinking from every flower then zipped off to the scarlet runner beans to enjoy those bright red blossoms. What an uplifting moment that was! And what a joy to have such life come into my yard 🙂
Stunning photo! Hummingbirds are some of my favorites! Just love watching them. We have a feeder at the edge of our deck and can watch them from the kitchen window or while sitting on the deck!
Amazing creatures!
