Looking at the Sky on Friday

I was so glad that I had just mowed the lawn over the weekend because we had torrential downpours Sunday night and into Monday.  Monday night the hummingbirds were in full attack mode on one another trying to get the last little bit of "nectar" (sugar water) from my feeder! I had so much fun photographing them. As best I could count at one time as I swatted mosquitoes and tried to shoot those micro birds there were 10. At one time their little flapping wings sounded like an army buzzing around me. It was so amazing watching their aerobatics and their combat skills as well! I enjoyed it and got a couple of good shots out of the 80 or so that I took. If you scroll to this week's Wordless Wednesday you can see my favorite. As I shot this one, and the sky can be seen in the background I decided that I would take a break from my sunset pictures this week and post this one. The dreary sky in the background wasn't nearly as fun to capture as the fluttering hummingbirds on this night.

I am using a new Link List, McLinky this week. I have paid for a service through Mr Linky and it seems as of late that it is not working properly on Fridays so I am going to give this one a try, even a plus that it is free. I will most likely not renew my subscription to Mr Linky when it is out. Please feel free to visit this site and use it on your post as well if you're so inclined.

Saturday Photo Hunt - Plastic

My 85th
This Week's Theme: Plastic
The beautifully colorful hummingbirds flock to these plastic flowers with pizazz! What I love most about this photo is that the little wings are flapping so fast that the camera could not capture them. I love trying to capture them on film. They have been scarce lately, I suppose due to the rain. The feeder is full and ready for them when they get thirsty again.

Just a friendly reminder that this is the last week of the Douglas Plush Giveaway! All you have to do is go to this post and leave a comment. A winner will be chosen randomly! It's that simple. Don't miss your chance. Do it now.
