The Bluebirds Are Back

Whoa!

We have been cleaning out the hot tub.  I'm chatting away and opening the lids at the same time and this little creature jumped up and scared the willies out of me.

'Flutterbys'

Surprises In The Flowers

I have seen this little creature two days in a row.

It's a hummingbird moth.

And then there are the fast flying, never sitting still humming birds.

And then there is this bully of a butterfly that kept flying right in on the hummingbird moth.

A Little Out Of Focus

These are not the most clear hummingbird shots I have ever takne. It was hard for the camera to figure out what to focus on the chickenwire or the hummingbird.  So I will take what I can get this morning.

 

I was sitting in the family room talking to m\Mark when I saw a blur go by the door.  Then I saw two blurs flying low through the yard.  Then only one came back.  I guess it was a territorial thing.

I ran to the kitchen to get the camera bag.  I just knew he would be gone by the time I got back.  I patiently waited by the door in hopes I could see movement.

He loves the hosta flowers.  Flitted in and out of about ten before deciding to stop behind the blue door to rest on the honeysuckle vine.

Hopefully they will come around tomorrow morning again.  I'll be waiting.
