Just a single photo. Snapped this shot just this morning.

You have to look very carefully but you'll notice a hummingbird. Quite rare around here. I haven't seen one in ages. There seems to be all kinds of wildlife in my backyard this year.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

He's a bit hard to see.

Hummingbirds are neat, I have been lucky to have allot around my home, and oddly enough they are quite tame. I can get pretty close to them before they fly off.
Somedays I'll just sit on the porch and they will fly over to great me

That happens to me everyonce in while. Once I was eating an apple outside and one flew over and hovered a few inches from my left hand. They're awesome! Grin
