shhh owen









most everyday, right outside the windows of my room, a hummingbird comes. he likes the salvia and lavender that grows in our garden. if i have the windows open, and it's very quiet, i can hear the whir of his wings. and sometimes i run for my camera. i felt lucky to get these photos yesterday sitting there on the ground with my camera propped on the window sill.


 sometimes he waits patient and quiet too


and sometimes not.

happy wednesday everyone!

    Wow, bellissime photos, Lori. I believe I've never seen a hummingbird's wings! I agree with Silke, seeing your room makes me want to come over and make tea, snuggle up with Owen and hang out with my syren friend.

    Are Hummingbirds Kolibri? They are such EXOTIC birdies to me, while we have just doves and magpies and crows in our trees. Well, and bats, tiny ones (not actually birds, I know). They are really fast, aren`t they? You did a great job photographing them. And Janet is right, your room and everything looks so sunny and bright. Have a happy Thursday! We have a little rain today and no hummingbirds to cheer me up!

    Wow! Those pics of the hummer are really beautiful. I've planted all sorts of salvia and lavendar and sage for them here. We haven't had as many as in the year's past, though. :( Owen is a cutie pie. xox Pam

    Such a fortunate daily occurrence! I need to put out a feeder or the right flowers for them so they'll visit more often. Thanks for stopping by!

    How lucky we were that your camera was so close and that little Owen was quiet. It was a real treat looking at your lovely photos. Owen is a cutie pie.
