Hummers - Thru my kitchen window

Just found this little guy while playing with the Picasa 3 download. I took this with my Lumix on a small tripod on the kitchen table. You can see the screen in the background.

Pretty amazing for a $100 camera.

I Hear Bluebirds!

Have you ever noticed that Bluebirds prefer calm, sunny days? Once you've learned to recognize the chatter/chirp of Papa Blue, it is not easily forgotten.

Bluebirds are here all year round in Maryland, they tend to hunker down and stay inside during the bad weather, but once the sun comes out, you can hear them if you know what to listen for.

(My husband has lost some hearing in certain ranges, he cannot hear the Bluebirds.)

When Nat King Cole wishes you Bluebirds in the Spring, he is wishing you clear, calm and sunny skies, along with of course, Love.
