I posted some photos of this afternoon's Hummingbird.  I got a ladder
and went up on my roof with my camera to get eye-level shots.  The
bird was perched on some sunlight limbs for a good while preening the
day away.

If anyone is interested, the photos are here: http://wahzoh.blogspot.com/

I'll put up a few of the butterfly madness from yesterday soon.  Enjoy
the remainder of your afternoon.  I'm off to a gig.

Best,
