Oh, Hummingbird

I love watching hummingbirds, dart and weave among the flowers.   Their dance is unique; They dive bomb each other.  It is fun to watch them at play.    (I did put out new food, for them) It is humid where I live and I have to change the feeder frequently.    I love the look of this pic, it was a quick shot and I thought it was
amazing to see how they look, that close up!   It was a lucky snap~

see their little tiny feet!    Aren't they sweet....


Haven't you noticed the days
somehow keep getting longer
And the spirit-voices whisper in
us all
Haven't you noticed the rays
The "Spirit Sun" is stronger
And a "New Day" is dawning for
us all.

Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Alas here comes the "Gardener"
He's come to till the flowers
The draught of understanding,
wisdom, peace and love is ours.


      lyrics to the song "Oh, Hummingbird" by Seals n' Crofts


It is the only bird that can fly backwards; when I lived in Hawaii, I found out hummingbirds aren't on the islands.  So sad, all those gorgeous flowers~
