I can totally see that as your favorite! I can't believe the vibrancy around his head! Looked similar to mine, although I was unable to capture that type of shot because the photo came out too dark. Love it!

kayaksailor In reply to SeptSky [2009-03-18 06:20:57 +0000 UTC]

I've been trying to get that full head for quite awhile...could be just a bit crisper but that gives me a reason to keep taking their pictures

You're very welcome Ruth! I'll send you a note regarding the large images, because the html code needed does not work in comments off to send you a note

Absolutely beautiful Ruth!

and such a nice gift for Shirley!

but you know... it's criminal to be able to take pics of hummers in February it's just not right! the rest of us poor blokes are at a sad disadvantage we'll be lucky to see a hummer by May

Thanks! I've been kept busy keeping the feeders filled - we're beginning to get a few flowers but I know they appreciate the feeders 'cuz they let me get so close

LadyAliceofOz In reply to kayaksailor [2009-02-21 06:33:01 +0000 UTC]

flowers in February are criminal, too!
but, things are beginning to look up a bit, our average day time temps are starting to settle at about 40 degrees... so Spring won't be that far away now... but, your coastal warmth is awesome! and you are very lucky that the hummers let you get so close!!

kayaksailor In reply to LadyAliceofOz [2009-02-21 07:35:52 +0000 UTC]

my coastal warmth is several hundred miles away but it is still California...the flowers I'm talking about are the little belly flower weeds that popup and bloom in a week or so after a good soaking rain - but we have our first crocus (from bulbs that I planted last October) it's so cute and tiny

It's a good thing I took a few pictures yesterday...this morning it looks like a snail took to nomming on it but I saw that the daffodiles are beginning, too so we'll still have others...

LadyAliceofOz In reply to kayaksailor [2009-02-23 16:46:34 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad we don't really have snails... but, we do have slugs *yuck* if we forget to put out the slug bait

kayaksailor In reply to LadyAliceofOz [2009-02-23 17:42:20 +0000 UTC]

we haven't seen any evidence of them since we moved here, but the garden shed had several part boxes left by the previous owners so I better go put some bait out, too! hmm, maybe it was a slug!!!

Try putting up a feeder when it gets warmer...if they're around they'll come!
