Yippee~Baby Hummer Boy Is Growing Up +3 Flora (20)

Hi PhotoFriends,

My three little hummer boys visit me throughout the day. It is such a blast to see them maturing into adults!

I want to share my excitement but my hummers want to share their story in their own words!

Here goes another Ruby-Throated Hummingbird tour/story

Yippee we are growing up!

Hi, Your Sweetie Is Here

Are you all sitting down in your lawn chair

I am about to turn around and show you something very special!

What do you all think? Oh, you all can’t see it yet

I hear you all

I knew you would love my new little red gorget

My Mrs. Gardner is so very pleased

Let me back up and view my flower garden and see what’s good to sip on!

Better yet, let me sit and do some nectar tasting.

Should I try some pretty Asters?

Nah! How about some Black-Eyed Susans?

Just look at me

I am back sipping the nectar from my Salvia. I just love this flower!

Pix 11
I know I really need a change in nectar; do I dare try some of the pretty summer phlox?

http://beebalm.smugmug.com/Flora-My-Baby-Hummer-Boy-Is/i-Hm9k8df/0/O/2014-08-07%20at%2009-47-29_MGL2269.jpg

Pix 12
I am hiding in my salvia because you all guessed it right I didn’t like the taste of Asters and Black-Eyed Susans. The phlox was acceptable but I rather have this

Yummy!

It’s back to my favorite perch. Boy, I am stuffed

Sometimes I just love to lay here and look up at the sky and watch the clouds going by.

Now it is preening time! Now I feel so clean and pretty!

Oops, I am itchy! What’s that

I thought I got all those nasty little bugs out in my feathers

Now I remember! As I was dreaming last night in a deep sleep

, there was a tiny bug flying towards me on my perch

That little bugger got into my feathers!

This should do it. Now I am such a pretty little boy. Don’t you all think

A little flexing of my muscles

Another sweet set, BB. All of these are great captures and presented as only you can

P.S. I read somewhere: "You will be able to see more of nature if you understand the universal bird language" Or something like that
