I've had a fascination with hummingbirds since my first visit to New Mexico decades ago.   City life in Florida doesn't afford much opportunity to see these glorious, beautiful creatures.  I was blessed about a year ago with a hummer sighting in my back garden.  The visit lasted only a couple days, no doubt on his migration back to parts unknown.  But in the 40 years I've lived in my Florida home, this was the first time I'd ever seen a hummingbird in my garden.  You can't imagine my excitement!  

The above photo is not great as I was using my cell phone and zooming in from my about 25 feet away so I wouldn't scare the little guy.  He was snacking from my Fire Spike plant.  He came to visit the garden in the mornings and I was so lucky to get this shot.  

Thanks so much for taking time to visit me friends.  I welcome your comments so please feel free to post one.  If you are lucky enough to see hummingbirds, remember to savor the moment and celebrate life.  

Wishing you many blessings ~~ Mary
