As the fall temps slowly arrive and the days are obviously getting shorter. It appears the local humming birds have gotten a little braver or they are just getting used to me. I was able to sit on my back steps and get a few good clear shots of these zippy little birds. The sun was just right to really make the iridescent green shine in a few of the pictures. Now to slowly inch my way closer

So you were born to feel ‘nice’? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?
