They often visited my feeder last year, but this year I haven't seen a one. Hubby did though, darn it!

Hope you can catch one of these guys at your feeder :)<br /><br />Linda - We had a family of chickadees in our yard last night, they wouldn't sit still long enough for a good picture. They all came out a little blurry.<br />There are days I wish I could go out without 2 kids and a dog following me, they scare off the birds :)<br /><br />Jen - Thank you :)<br /><br />Cindee - I was so excited to see a flower on her, way down at the bottom.<br /><br />Cindydyer - Thanks, that is my house.

Chickadee will be next. I find it's sometimes easier to use my eye rather than the screen when doing birds. And many times I have to sit and have it aimed a long time before getting that shot. But I don't have a young family to take care of either and other important things to do like you - just us old people sitting on the deck waiting for something exciting to happen!

I agree with what you said about gardening, it is all good work.<br /><br />Town Mouse - It really was a lucky shot. Bees are hard too, unless you catch them resting.<br /><br />Kathleen - It's hard waiting when I know they are so close, but I don't think there's anything stopping the flowers now. I should bring my camera out with me too while I garden, today the birds were all over the yard.<br /><br />Darla - I wonder if Nelly Moser is a more difficult clematis. The rest of mine do really well, that one is always struggling. Hope yours blooms for you too.<br /><br />Susie - It's frustrating to have allergies this time of year when you really want to be outside. I just love watching the hummingbirds, always entertaining.<br /><br />Tina - Summer Snowflake took awhile to do much here too, it does get quite a bit of shade. Maybe it likes more shad than other viburnums. I was so excited to catch that hummer!<br />Thanks for the seeds and I'm saving you some too :)<br /><br />Becca - That geranium is such a nice color, don't you wish it would bloom longer? Mine doesn't bloom too long.<br /><br />sweet bay - Thanks, maybe next time I can catch the Anna's, they are really cool looking.<br /><br />The Retired One - Great you are taking camera classes. I wonder if I can adjust my shutter speed? I hope you can catch a hummer at your feeders soon!<br /><br />Dirt Princess - I love the lupines, such neat looking flowers. They smell good too. I just wish they didn't end up infested with aphids.<br /><br />Melanthia - I've heard both about the feeders here. I've read they stay here anyway. Once the flowers were gone here, they did come to the feeders pretty often. I feel bad for the ones that don't fly south. The hummers seem to prefer the flowers over the feeders.<br />Gorgeous out! Just came in for a break.<br /><br />Jackie - They are hard. My camera sometimes won't focus on them because they are moving to much. It really was just luck this time :)Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-32204816212293440152009-05-28T14:09:34.464-07:002009-05-28T14:09:34.464-07:00Great shot of the hummingbird!
