As if lush, winter-flowering bushes weren't enough to make me love where I live, a family of hummingbirds has moved in. I've counted at least three so far. They play in the fountains and hang out in the trees, and I feel as happy as a kid on Christmas every time I see them.

| Can you see it? This is the fountain in my little backyard. Hummingbirds are the dangedest to photograph, especially on a dim, cloudy morning. |

| This one's playing in the fountain in the courtyard out front. |

| It may look like a sparrow or chickadee, but don't be fooled. In better light you'd see the bright green back and ruby red throat. |

Hummingbirds! How divine!
I love hummingbirds. This reminds me I need a new feeder for the summer. You know you need not ever buy the premixed hummingbird nectar. Make your own by mixing 4 parts water to 1 part table sugar. You don't even have to put red food coloring it it. They will find it on their own, and once they know it's there will come back.
