Snowflakes

Have you ever tried to photograph a snowflake crystal? It is not always easy. I have become fascinated by the beauty of a snow crystal. I saw some gorgeous photos on the web and I want to be able to capture some photos like them.

Now all I need to do is wait for snowfall. It is only August so I have plenty of time to read up on the best approach.

Bombarded by Hummingbirds

I now have so many hummingbirds at my feeder they are fighting each other. There are midair collisions at the feeder every 3 minutes.

They move so fast I can't get a good photo!

This is very entertaining to watch but I fear one of the little creatures is going to be severely injured. I assume they are all fattening up for the migration coming up in the fall but whatever the reason, I now have more hummingbirds than I can handle.

Always remember to watch what you wish for...

Hummingbirds Everywhere

Well we now have a big red flower growing on our deck. I had planted these gladiolas months ago and they are just now blooming. I can't believe they turned out to be red. I had no idea what color they would be when I planted them.

The hummingbirds love them. We now have hummingbirds on the back deck every 20 minutes. I never realized what little pigs hummingbirds were. These little guys just suck all the nectar out of these new blooms like crazy.

Too bad I didn't have these flowers around weeks ago. We are getting some really great photos of the little guys. My husband set up the tripod and we got the hummingbirds buried in the blooms.
