Ruby Tuesday and Rednesday --- Red Sugar Water

It is that time of the week when we celebrate all things red. I intended to share some photos of the antique fire trucks I captured last week ...........then something amazing happened. After years of trying to photograph the Hummingbirds that come to our feeder with little more than lots of motion blobs, to show for my efforts I finally did it. I managed to capture a full series of shots from the time the tiny little Hummingbird started to arrive until he departed. But, I have to give most of the credit to the Old Salt.

We have always had the feeder hanging outside our kitchen window, and the slightest movement would scare them away. Then recently the Old Salt decided to relocate the feeder to the rose bush that sits in front of the picture window in our living room. Hidden within the foliage of the rose bush the little birds were not as edgy. Plus, I was able to balance the camera on the back of the sofa and snap away. The following are the result.

I am linking this post to Ruby Tuesday and Rednesday.
