Rufous Hummingbird, my watchful backyard buddy
When we assume hummingbird consciousness, our life becomes a wonderland of sensuous delights. We live for beauty, delighting in flowers, aromas, fine mist, delicate tastes.
Hummingbirds awaken us to the beauty of the present moment. —David Carson
What a beautiful photo! It certainly makes me smile at the beauty of it.
That makes me very happy, Lilian! So much to smile about, when it comes to these tiny winged beauties.
Aren’t they the most exquisite of creatures? Sipping nectar and making fairy nests for their eggs. This is why preserving our environment has to be part of our stewardship of this planet and our most important responsibility as humans. Really lovely Melodye.
You’re so right, Margaret. To observe these tiny beings is to renew one’s appreciation for the wider world, within and beyond our garden gates.
What a lovely picture–little, thoughtful, hummingbird friend.
Thanks! I love watching him, watching me, and observing firsthand the feisty ways he protects “his” territory. 🙂
Did you really take this picture? Just let me know through FB. Exquisite! (Whether you took it or not!)
Yep! It’s my good fortune to have this guy in my backyard, and my good luck to have captured his essence with my camera. 🙂
You have an amazing eye for a photo, Melodye. This one is just stunning. I have loved all of your hummer photos!!
Hi, Mr. Hummingbird! You are looking very picturesque today!
Amazing shot, Melodye! And the quote is spot on. 🙂 I love my hummingbird teacher who lives in our birch tree. <3
