Razzed by a Hummingbird

I guess my little hummingbird friend got tired of flitting about and decided to take a breather. He is sitting on the frame of a portable canopy. In this shot you can actually see his tongue sticking out.

This is the same hummingbird from yesterdays photo. Every few minutes he would land on the canopy frame and rest.
A Hummingbird to Brighten Your Day

I had a seriously crappy day and when I got home I went into the backyard to chill. Well that lasted about 10 minutes because this hummingbird showed up. I ran for the camera praying he would still be there when I got back … not only was he still there but he flittered about for oven an hour. Just a FYI … Trying to catch a hummingbird with a camera is sort of like trying to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
In this photo I caught him/her coming in for a landing on the white thing you see in the foreground. It is actually a collapsible canopy we use over the pool to block the sun. I love that you can actually see his wings fluttering in this photo.

This is where we go to recycle glass and other things that can be recycled. We cleaned out the garage … we had a huge amount of “stuff” to contribute to the bins.
Little Alien Cacti
June 13, 2009 | Filed Under Cactus | 4 Comments
These little stick figure cacti always look so life people like to me. These two look like they are playing hide and seek behind the rocks …. or maybe trying to hide from mom and dad because they want to go home.
I don’t know what the proper name for these cacti are … any help welcome?
Far Away Mountains

This particular view is only available at a certain time of day. I am not exactly sure why but I would imagine it has something to do with the angle of the sun. The larger mountain can only be seen at sunset and and the smaller mountain in front of it is a volcano. The volcano is about 40 miles from where I took this and the larger about 70. I was on the west face of the Sandia’s looking west.
