This one is for you Kim. Another day, another bird.

While we were sitting on the patio this little hummer decided to swoop in and get a good look at Abbey. She spent a lot of time hovering low. I was really surprised that Abbey didn’t jump up and try to catch her. I guess it is true.. if you wave your “arms” around wildly you really will look intimidating to other animals. Still don’t think I’d rely on it if I ran into a bear one day.

After all that intimation it was time to sit a spell.

Next up was this little charmer at the feeder.

Look at that beautiful color! I hope to see more of this guy and get a better picture of his ruby colored throat.
That’s how our Father’s Day has started out. Recliner Man are getting off to a slow start today, still puttering around in our jammies. Later today our son will come over to spend some time with us and have dinner. Recliner Man had his choice of where to go for dinner and he chose staying home and having meatloaf. Can you believe that? Of all the options he picked an old standby like meatloaf. Oh well, whatever makes him happy. I gave him his gift a couple of weeks early this year. I bought him a Wii. He has been loving it and I imagine we will be enjoying it today when The Boy comes over.
What are you doing today to celebrate Father’s Day?

Thanks for morning picture! I have a visitor that is the same beautiful ruby color too! I’ll try getting a picture today. No kids around to come and visit dad today. The phone calls are starting to come in though. It’s sweet that they still call their dad even when their dad’s themselves! Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to Recliner Man. It’s been a slow start day here too. You’re getting such great bird pictures. That’s one thing about apartment living that I miss, not many bird moments to shoot. Do you know if they are all the same type?

These pictures are fabulous! Guess I need to take the leap and buy a digital SLR camera. Can I pay for that on time?? LOL!
