OK, that’s that. And now, flash hummingbird . . . .
This was the setup, looking right outside my office window.
You can see the two full-size photos in the SmugMug Gallery HERE.<<<Link
Once again I’m pressed for time, so I’m just going to put up a gallery. Don’t worry; there will be clever writing and more photos when I post the whole series of these photos.
I know some (mighty few) people miss my long posts . . . but, since this is a short post, here’s a short(ish) offering, THIS POST<<link is from 2015. It has snow.
Or, if you really pine for a long post, then THIS POST<<link is for you.
That’s it. This post has ended . . . except for the stuff below.

Your hummingbird photos and videos are always a joy!
One of my fav birds to watch, for sure!
I hope the voting is going well.
I voted once.
I wish I could vote two more times. (all three stories deserved my vote.)

Thank you, Carolyn. More on the way.
The voting has stalled, as is always the case. We had a late surge in the last round, so i’m hoping for the same here.
Alas, as you know, there can be only one . . . although, I do allow for ties, so in theory, all three stories could get the same number of votes.

We don’t have these beautiful birds here in Oz. Makes me jealous!
They seem so tiny and timid.

They are tiny . . . but not timid.

Thanks, Scott.
And, I’m sure they wish they were . . . I just saw one bump another hummer right outside my window. They also occasionally use their beaks. Fierce and territorial, they are.

They’re little micro-treasures.
