Hummingbird!

Okay, I am going to confess two things...I love hummingbirds and I have not been drinking!

Why would I confess such crazy things? Well, this evening, as I was washing dishes, (yes, I have a dishwasher but sometimes still handwash) I looked out my window and saw a hummingbird on our Thundercloud Plum tree. I ran and took this picture.

Can you see it? It was getting dusk so it looks like a silhouette. Here let me help you...
Here's where the NOT drinking comes in. When I was cropping the picture to put it on this post, I saw two more things. It's kind of like "I Spy".
However, I must tell you that these are leaves, NOT a butterfly and another bird. Too funny, don't you think? Or it could be my creative mind playing tricks on me.

NOTE: You should be able to click on most of the pictures to enlarge to see further details.

    Hello,
    I visited your blog today - I saw you on Note Songs, and I just happened to notice the Hummingbird, so I clicked on you. I will tell you a little something. The Hummingbird holds a special place in my heart for so many reasons. I LOVE THEM!! That is a beautiful picture. Your blog is so pretty, and you have alot of creative ideas. Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you and seeing all your wonderful photos. I hope to hear from you, and have a beautiful day.

    No, I did not laugh because I also would have found those images to be other critters... I have a Firspike in my yard and each day, twice a day it has numerous hummingbirds and butterflys just enjoying the tiny flowers.. I wish I had a good camera to zoom in...
    Very nice post!

    It looks like a nest is near the hummingbird!
    I saw a hummingbird near her nest with eggs once...one of my most treasured memories. Truly, they are amazing creatures!
    Thanks for sharing!
