    Little Friends

    August 26, 2010 /

    I have been going through the many, many photos I took while visiting my parents in Catawba, South Carolina.  Many of those photos were of the hummingbirds that visit their feeders.  I’m not talking about one or two birds……there were occasions when there would be as many as 15 to 20 birds competing for the four feeders at the same time.  It was hysterical watching them…..they did have a way to make you laugh, especially when they took away the feeders for cleaning and refilling.  Some of them were quite brave and would buzz close and take a look at us on the porch watching them….others were quite shy.  It is…

    The Things We Do….

    August 19, 2010 /

    I arrived home late this evening.  It was planned ~ a long awaited day….I was having my hair done!   I was sitting in the chair and I couldn’t help but think “the things we do”……. so of course I had to take a photograph.  🙂 Notice how I positioned the camera just so?  Yes, I planned it that way. The end result…..I don’t have to see that woman with the scraggly hair in the mirror tomorrow morning.  😉
