Hummer

Thanks for the comments on my new tattoo! :-) I'm very happy with it.

We're back home now.


See this little guy? He (she?) has decided that this particular spot on the tomato cage is where he wants to spend most of his day. He periodically flits over to snack on the California fuschia you can see in the background, but then he always flies back, and he perches there a long time. Sometimes another hummer comes along and dive-bombs him, bu he chases it off. It's nifty because he either can't see us through the window or doesn't care, so I can get within about 3 feet of him. I love hummingbirds.
Not sure what variety this is. Possibly a female or juvenile Anna's humminbird. or possibly not. :-)
