Humming Birds.

I thought I'd post this for you guys, it cheered me up this morning maybe it'll do the same for you. Our world seems so hard and almost unbearably aggressive at times that even a simple walk to the shops can becomes a burden.

I hope you all have a great day to day.

We get a few hummingbirds around here, got a feeder.
When ever I see one I'll always stop and watch, they're fun.

Nice post.Magic

We have hummingbirds as well. They like the flowering plants on our deck. The first time I heard the beating of their wings I thought there was a huge bee flying around me. This species of bird is really cool.

Wow, beats sparrows, starlings, and pidgeons I get in my garden.

I put out a feeder every summer for the humming birds. We all sit in the early evenings and watch them zip around.

Plant flowers that bloom red. A feeder specifically for hummingbirds attract them. Some say it takes a summer of blooming red flowers and a feeder hung out before they actually come around the following summer.

We have this gray cat that just loves to walk around and check on all the plants on the deck and around the yard she also has an interesting respect for humming birds and will sit and closely observe them but has no interest in them as prey as she will sit and watch them when they are within easy striking distance the entire time never displaying hunting body language.
