Free as a bird


Late Wednesday afternoon, I decided it was time for a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden so off I went.  I wasn't there 2 minutes when I saw this cute little hummingbird taking advantage of the blooms on a penstemon plant.  There is nothing like a good walk and a little Mother Nature to get the blood flowing.

  5. I love this picture! My hummers seem to have all gone south to avoid these unusually cold temps we are having.

  15. Well done, Sharon. I run across hummingbirds occasionally but every time I end up deleting the photos. I can't get them clear enough and interesting enough .

  16. Great hummer shot. Even though our temps are similar this time of year we often do have some below-freezing weather so our hummers are long gone to Mexico. I miss them.
