Watching nature is better than smoking

[Legend]

I tried to post this in status update but it won’t let me post a picture again so I will post this here. Just to the left of the hummingbird feeder you can see a hummingbird getting sugar water. I don’t know how many hummingbirds we have but I see a lot coming and going.  I was making some strawberry jello and saw the hummingbird out the window. Watching nature is better than smoking.

Love hummers...

In this one you can see her little tongue sticking out...

And here you see the Bumblers feeding too.  Everybody loves sugar!

Definitely more fun than smoking!

Giulia Thanks for the pictures I love watching hummingbirds. Love the bee in the picture. My dad had a hummingbird that he named nervous Nelly because she never sat down for a moment that he saw when she was by the feeder. Nervous Nelly would even come down in front of his face and look at him up close then fly off.

Nervous Nelly. Love it!  My cousin has gotten them to eat out of her hand with a hand feeder.  (This picture I took off the internet).  I need to order one.  I've managed to hold the bigger feeder in my hand and have them sup from IT, though it sure takes a lot of patience.  But what a TREAT it is!

Giulia WOW!!!  That is really cool I love this picture. Yes you must have a lot of patience to get a hummingbird to sup from a feeder in your hand. Hummingbirds are so pretty.

I have bee balm growing outside my kitchen windows which the hummers just LOVE!  They haven't found them yet this year, but they will and I will very much enjoy watching them!  I also have a house wren nesting in my stove pipe birdhouse right outside my window and have enjoyed their comings and goings, as well.

I LOVE summer!

YoungAtHeart I hope the hummingbirds find the bee balm soon they will love it. I love watching all the birds and animals outside.
