Pictures of the House

I had taken a whole bunch of pictures, but the memory card messed up. I had some of these on another card. I also have some in here of our creek bed which was very full this morning after a couple of days of rain.

Photos of Some of Our Hummingbirds

We really have been over run with them! We have 3 feeders up which start out full in the morning and then I usually have to refill them at least once during the day. My husband took some of these amazing pictures of just some of them. We have seen up to 12 at one feeder and probably 20-30 out flying around. They let me get extremely close to them and one even perched on my finger to eat when I held it up to the feeder! Of course we didn't get a picture of that, but we got lots of other great ones. Enjoy.










I will be working on a post this weekend hopefully with pictures of the house and our beautiful scenery. One year ago today we were preparing for Ike, which hit us a year ago tomorrow.

Swarms Of Hummingbirds

We were noticing some hummingbirds, so we put up a few more feeders and they came out in droves! They look like a swarm of insects and are not at all shy. We have seen about 15 at a time flying around out there. We are all laughing because they don't seem as pretty when they are all buzzing around like that, they look kind of scary, like a group of wasps, but then one stops and looks at you and you can see how pretty it is. We will be so sad to see them go, but at least we will have a few more weeks with them.
