These birds are so cute! 
You did a wonderful job, Ruth!

I have always loved them - I have a memory from about kindergarten (close to a half century ago!) of the Hummingbird House at the San Diego Zoo - I had long hair and a hummer was right there in my face trying to get some strands for its nest ... 
Thanks for the compliment

Thank you so much! I hope your child gets better and don't you get tomorrow off? Here in California Veteran's Day is a school holiday...

My daughter is heart broken her first love is over...we have Tuesday...I can catch up on Homework...and grades...or just go shoot.

No matter the age, that is hard on her and you! (How old is she? My almost 19 year old daughter has shied away from matters of the heart...I'm not sure if that will make it harder or easier when she finally does fall...)

She is 19. As of today she claims she is fine. But that is what she always tells me. I hope it is so. If love goes well it is wonderful but once it starts to fray then unravel well it hurts. And we question who we are and what we have done wrong. Or are we unlovable...

And today she may be fine; tomorrow or a few days from now it may be different, and then ok again...but as you know hearts are resiliant 'tho they sure hurt at the time.
(We have something else in common beyond our birthdates two day apart: daughters very close in age

I feel that 19 is to old too for them, I want mine back to under 10 for a few more years. But alas, she is a woman now. I knew when she was born that it would come to this. I sit here and wish she was that baby in my arms...tears..

I, too, knew that she would someday be gone so when ever I was tempted to say or think "Grow up" I would consciously stop and savor the moment... we just had Cait's bday breakfast - she's got lots of school work so no playing but we did go shopping yesterday and we'll probably go out to dinner at her favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner

Same here Ruth. I always stopped myself from saying "grow up" I knew I did not mean it. I hope that your daughter had a wonderful birthday. Excluding all the school work. But bless her for getting it done.

Such a very Zen place
Such a very Zen moment
I wish I was there
I have had a nearly life long fight with depression and Joanneβs trip to the hospital has been very rough on me.
You often make things better

Lovely shot Ruth!
We are expecting snow any day now.

well....we're expecting more, more... RAIN... nah, nah, nah!

Our birds are going crazy at the feeders today; blue jays, cardinals, nuthatches, and chickadees. I wish it wasn't so wet out, I'd get some nice shots.

they probably know the snow is coming and they're trying to stock up on food in their bellies

That's what I was thinking too.
Oh man, keep trying, I'd love to see that!
