Hummingbird Hill at Sundown

By bullshoalsview written 9/16/06 7:38 PM, published 9/16/06 7:38 PM

This evening when I saw this happening out the window... I grabbed the camera and went out on the deck Popup Link

To Get a Better Look! Of course, once I was out there, the hummers started putting on a Popup Link

Then here came my husband, Chuck, with the Popup Link Infamous Red Flowered Hummingbird Attracting Baseball Cap . Hey, hummer, get out of Chuck's beard! That ain't a nest! Why Shut My Mouth, You Say ! One thing always leads to another, then the Finger Sitting begins....

One last shot, with some Popup Link Shameless Advertising... Hey HD, if you see this.... send me some chrome for my birdies to sit on!

This is the third night in a row we have had this strange Popup Link Striped Sky after sunset. Does anybody know what causes this to happen? We went from Stormy looking in the Dusk shot to a cloudless sunset in about 45 minutes. Strange.

Hope you enjoyed your peek at the Hill tonight. We had a good time, and hope you did too!

Love your hummers! When we have that in the sky around here it's usually smog. I talked to a woman in Maine the other day who said they have as much smog as any big city-without the big city!

- come over for lunch

That's more than "hummers"...it's a whole chorus going on! Fabulous!!!

It's no wonder you are obsessed with the hummingbirds when you get that many and they do that!!!!!

The stripes are the shadows of tall clouds beyond the horizon falling on the nearer clouds. Great hummer pics!
