Thanks so much, Carolyn! I love your new photo; you’re quite a stunning lady!

Tea it is, Jesika! And plan to stay a month! Wouldn’t that be so much fun! Thanks for the kind words. I think “tiny jewels” is a very apropos description of these hummers!

Krys, thanks a million for enriching my vocabulary and my life! I had to google “gobsmacked” because I had no clue what it meant. Here’s what I found! Thanks again for the enrichment!

Gobsmacked

Thanks a million, Lyn. I’ve been having a ball watching the hummingbird, and I think he’s kind of enjoying watching me. He comes very close to the blind where I hide and hovers. In fact, when I looked at a very enlarged version of his eye, I could see the camouflage reflection of my blind in it! We’re on pretty good terms; I provide the food; he gives me photo ops!

You know, Jan, I think Susan Boyle has gotten the whole world “dreaming the dream” and we’re all pumped up to belt out our “songs!” You blew my socks off with your doves last night; what a joy to view those; I’m waiting for MORE! God bless and thanks for being a friend!

I’m wearing out my speakers listening to her singing that stirring song from Les Miserables! My husband and I were crying together last night. It’s a Cinderella story we all needed in the world right about now, and I’m too happy to see her finally getting her glass slipper! And sure hope there’s a kiss to go with it soon, too. May the world never corrupt her; she’s a reminder to us all to be authentically ourselves!

Thanks, Jinney! I take that you checked out whatbird.com and listened to this little squeaker’s “voice!” I appreciate your response and enthusiasm and love that humor!

Maria, I don’t think I even noticed that! I was so busy trying to get this little jet to slow his engines and give me a shot at him that nothing else registered! Thanks for the keen eye and for something I can always count on from you, a unique and refreshing point of view!

Glad to share one of God’s little treasures with you, Barry, and glad you always respond to my sharing with gratitude and thoughtfulness.

Thanks a million, John! I’m just a loyal subject of the REAL master! Take a bow, King Radosevich!

Thank you, Deborah! I appreciate your kindness.

Hello, Flowers! Glad you liked the hummingbird; bet you liked the bottlebrush, too! I love your screen name! Thanks for taking the time to stop in and chat!

Thank you, Troy! Nothing like bird-watching to give a person a sense of well-being!

I’m constantly amazed at the “English” that is spoken on both sides of the pond. Sometimes we seem to be speaking different languages! Glad to have the enrichment, though; keeps the language growing in a healthy fashion.

Thank you, KatsEye! You surely know how to boost my spirits! God bless!

Thanks for the email photo, Kimberly, and for the lively correspondence. You are a great teacher, always introducing me to something new and challenging and always doing it in such a kind, gentle patient way! You’re a true friend! Keep the pictures and the email messages coming!

Thanks so much, Trudi! I appreciate your feedback and support.

Hummingbirds, I’ve heard, are drawn to red, so when I replaced a flower bed devastated by a past hurricane, I made sure there were bird-loving, butterfly-loving plants there. I think my landscape consultant got it right because the hummers are loving this bottlebrush and hope the butterflies will, too! Thanks again for the kind comments.

Thank you, Trevor! I appreciate your kind words and encouragement.

Thank you, Bubbleblue! What a cute name! Bubbleblue on RedBubble! I appreciate making your acquaintance!
