This is Hugo the Humming bird. He has been around for a few weeks now. He always sits on this branch, every day unless it’s raining. He seems to have the run of the feeder which is close by. He fearlessly guards it, fights each battle hard and then rests here for a while until he is called back into duty. I can see him perched here from my chair in the living room, every morning when I have my tea, there he is, a little more than just a dot, but I can see he is there. If you step outside, you can hear his wings and when there is a battle going on, it’s really loud.
I’m still not feeling well but I am in my chair today. Barry is back on his feet so I asked him if he could get me a photo of Hugo so I can introduce him to everyone… an hour later I see he has his telescope set up with his big camera attached… serious business!! But that is why I asked him to take it, I could never get this shot!! This was the best he got, between the wind and Hugo constantly taking off and landing, the branch doesn’t stand still, at all. I do like this shot, looks like it is night but it is bright and sunny, the forest across the highway is in the background.
I get shot glass flowers all the time when the wild flowers are out. So pretty.
