Hummingbird

I have quite a collection of blurred hummingbird photos before I finally got a few clear ones. When they are closer to the window I can totally hear them which I love.


It has just been rainy, cold misery out here, but my hummingbirds are very happy to have the feeders up and haven't seemed put off by the rain.I am counting on them to do some spider eating in return for sugar water.


So my tomato plants look pretty darn good, but my peppers are not looking well at all. I was looking up a bit about them and I think they need even warmer soil than the tomatoes do.

All of my seeds may be destroyed or at a minimum mixed and spread. I wasn't paying attention yesterday and by the time I looked over the seeded plant box was full of Nim prints and scattered dirt. I may have to try that box again.


This week has gone really fast! I am in the paper writing stage for one project and overall I am in pretty good homework shape in preparation of another busy weekend.

  1. That must have been some other doggy in the planter. Nim would never do anything like that! We love our hummingbirds too. I just wish we had the variety that you get on the west coast. We only have the ruby throat.

    1. I am still trying to work out how many different ones I am seeing and what is just male/female of the same type! I just looked up the ruby throat and I am not even sure if that is one I have seen. You are right though, we get a lot of the variety through this area.

      Nim told me he didn't do it either...the prints don't lie however. :)

  2. Great hummingbird pictures. Those would be neat to watch.

    Sounds like Nim is trying to help you garden.

    It's been really warm here today, like feels over 90 degrees. Enjoy your weekend some!

    1. I love watching them. They are hanging right outside my window where I work. They are very curious little guys too.

    1. They are very pretty and surprisingly interactive. I am starting to see greater variety as they are figuring out where the food is.
