You can't help but giggle at their curiosity. This year has been an extra pleasure. It's a puzzle because I don't have many flowers, just a few pots of red Pentas in bloom and three feeders hanging from the deck above, at the edge of my patio. It's easy for me to see the activity when I'm home--a wonderful smile break.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-80433368013279487762010-08-17T11:52:06.497-05:002010-08-17T11:52:06.497-05:00Hummers never cease to amaze, Maree.

I have one on my window sill but have never seen their blossom. Would also love to see your Sunbirds!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-27404153473272884762010-08-17T06:04:10.875-05:002010-08-17T06:04:10.875-05:00I'd love to see one of these little guys so cl...I'd love to see one of these little guys so close!

Your Hummingbirds are such amazing little things (we don't have them here in South Africa), and my Sunbirds are currently totally ignoring my nectar feeders in favour of the Aloe's flowers!Maree Clarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274329795088706720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-72633067836056300232010-08-16T15:08:34.440-05:002010-08-16T15:08:34.440-05:00It's nice to hear comments about the backgroun...It's nice to hear comments about the background.
