Hummingbird

There's a big fuchsia bush in the backyard that, at least on the side that isn't constantly being eaten by deer, is covered with red blossoms. This female Anna's hummingbird (I think that's what she is) diligently monitors "her" fuchsia bush from one of maybe three different vantage points from around the yard.

As I sat in a chair below her, she sat on a little twig above me, nicely backed by some very dark trees. In these two photos you can see her (a) yawning and then (b) stretching. Warm days and late afternoon sun will do that to you. ©Carol Leigh
