I am still aglow with the warmth of my special hummer visit yesterday ... I can't begin to explain how wonderful that precisely timed appearance made me feel!



Here area a couple of shots of my backyard I snapped this weekend.

My cape vine has gone completely crazy this spring is simply laden with blossoms!


needless to say, the hummer loves this plant!

And this beauty is a brand new hybrid called a "Nun's Orchid"



When I brought it home I had no idea what it was going to look like when it bloomed...Boy, was I happily surprised when the long yucca like stems produced this mass of beautiful orchid like flowers.

WOW Those pictures are just gorgeous!!

I'm suffering from MAJOR yard envy!! :)

The fields here are still full of wildflowers, and we're getting our annual crop of small worms (inchworms/caterpillars) that hang off the trees.

The birds really haven't been interested in the feeders much with all that protein hanging around.

I have seen a couple of new, wren type birds that are brown with yellow bellies.... they're very fast, so I haven't manged to get any pictures!
