A Post for the Nature Lovers

Early Sunday Morning as Boden and I lay in bed laughing at my parent's house in California ( I tickling his feet, and him attempting to chew on them). I noticed a little hummingbird flitting to and fro in front of the window. I watched it and it stopped. I thought it stopped... Yes! There it was so still in the tree. "Boden! Is that a hummingbird?" (He doesn't know what hummingbirds are, and doesn't talk yet - so really this conversation was very one sided). I watched it - and thought. "oh dear, I hope it isn't there to die!" I've never seen a hummingbird so still before. They are usually zipping around or floating serenely as their wings beat into a blur.

But then I saw it. A barely visible little nest. A hummingbird nest! What a wonderful sign for the day - and I felt so luck to see such a rare sight. So here it is - the hummingbird in her nest.
