Hummie photos 26March2012

These hummies are basking under the morning sun:
Perched on our spider plant baskets as it does its daily grooming:

While this one is doing his morning exercises perched on the trellis support of the lavender plant or is it trying to catch the attention of another hummie: Confused

Just have to add these other photos, taken today 26March after lunch:

Going about in the yard, trying to remove all the ugly hanging catkins here and there..and lucky enough the hummies stayed long enough till I get the camera:

This hummie again staying under the shade of the lavender plant, seems like its feathers are all fluffed up:

Then came another hummie, now am not sure if the other hummie was trying to feed the first one or just playing around:
Thumb of 2012-03-26/tarev/7923d0 Thumb of 2012-03-26/tarev/20e06c

On the other favorite hangout, there is this hummie quietly perched again on the spider plant basket:

Then this other hummie came...hmmm feeding time? or playing around? Confused Whistling

Thumb of 2012-03-26/tarev/2f53bf Thumb of 2012-03-26/tarev/0b40b0

And surprise, right after this one, the other hummie flew to the other hummie by the lavender plant...

Thumb of 2012-03-26/tarev/a730c8

So either it is a mommy hummie feeding the youngsters or one fickle hummie playing around Big Grin Big Grin

So much fun trying to make a storyline out of these hummies Big Grin Big Grin

Happy Tuesday!

For today, seems the hummies are in a perching mode...this one quietly perches by the empty spot in the succulent plant stand..

And as I have seen yesterday, their other new favorite spot is under the lavender plant..for today they continue on their feeding/play like frolic:

They are so small, you must have a really good camera, I can not get close enough for a picture, no zoom. Sad

I tip my hat to you. Allison and Susan Smiling It is just a point and shoot cam...the hummies in the last 3 photos are not so flighty..quite good subjects for a change Big Grin And they are perched on my lowest plant stand too, so much easier to focus a bit.

These are yesterday's photos 28March:
Succulent plant stand is a favorite this time around for their perch, seems to be doing a much needed neck exercise or just trying to be vigilant around its area:

A late afternoon rain caught these ones in our grid stand:

For today 29 March, found this little one riding on top of our garden decor, enjoying a gentle spin:

In this photo, the little one is safely hidden in between the Schefflera leaves...seems like find the hummie puzzle game Big Grin :
