What a Sweetie...

[queenoftheskies]

There's this adorable hummingbird--a really little guy that keeps popping by my window today. There are bushes and flowers outside and a tree that's been in bloom.

Sometimes, he stops at the window and looks in. I wonder what he sees when he does. He just hovers there, mesmerized.

I figure he probably sees himself and thinks there's another hummingbird.

He's such a beautiful green.

Sometimes, he lands on tiny tree branches. But, he never stays still for long.

But, he makes me smile whenever I see him.

He always brightens up my day.

Hummingbirds are fascinating, aren't they? Your snapshot of spring has me going 'ahhhh,' more so because Winter is making a comeback today. *shivers*

You've definitely got me in a Spring mood. The day is warm and sunny here in the PNW, most unusual and appreciated.

I can't wait to see hummingbirds this summer in the yard.

Hummingbirds totally trip me out. They're just freaky how they can like hover and stuff. They are very pretty though.

You might want to keep an eye on that window in case he starts dive-bombing it. I mean, if he is seeing his reflection he could hurt himself. They're extremely territorial (as you may well know).

We had a robin one year that almost killed itself trying to fight off the rival he kept seeing in the window.

Hummingbirds are also known for giving people heck for not keeping the feeder full. At my mom's house in the summer they will zoom the window (or her, if she goes out) to let her know it's time for more lunch, lady!

They are so amazingly small and colorful and zippy. Cute!
