Mamma Told Me There'd Be Days Like This

Caution:

This post will bring a smile to your face 

and a skip to your step. 

Think twice before reading further.

My Hummingbirds are Rock Stars!

(Skip to the bottom to find out why... or read on for the full meal deal.)

For weeks I've sat, camera in hand 
at gardens edge, 

watching these little guys as they frolic.

The BEST way to start my day!

By now it's no secret...

they have a sweet fascination with my

Black and Blue Salvias 

and I, quite frankly, 
am fascinated watching them.

(Think of me in my bright flowered pj's

waiting patiently to capture them with my lens. 

I've had sooo much fun!)

 Oh they'll dance around the other blooms in my gardens...

but they are simply wild 

over the trumpet like blossoms of this Salvia.

So last week I decided to introduce 

something new to the scene.

A Hummingbird Feeder

I thought the sweet nectar might provide a bit of a boost 

to their energy.

With Fall in the air, 

it's just a matter of time 

before they're off on their journey south.

 The first morning was hilarious.

They knew something sweet was in there,

they just couldn't figure out how to get to it.

I caught it all with my camera.

Sit back, 

turn up your speakers

and enjoy the show.

Toe tapping is about to begin...
 

I should mention...

by the next day he had it all figured out.
