Fat Hummingbirds










I visited The Hummingbird Garden blog and she had posted a photo of a very fat hummingbird! It reminded me of some photos I had taken in April this year. So these are photos of my fat ruby thoated boy! And go take a look at the fat one at The Hummingbird Garden!

Hummingbird at Morning Glories

My Hubby took these photos, aren't they great! Click on them to see closer. The hummingbirds visit our garden all the time! We like to plant their favorite flowers so they will consider our garden a favorite place to stop by. We usually have feeders up too but lately have been lazy and haven't put them back up after cleaning them (which is every few days) but the hummingbirds don't seem to mind, we have enough flowers to satisfy them. Isn't it so cute that this little hummer stopped to rest on the morning glory vine? They sometimes perch on the trellis or on the Sweet Autumn Clematis too. These morning glories are the 'Heavenly Blue' variety and they sure are heavenly! God really is the best artist there is! I love to admire His handiwork.

Hummingbird and Passion Flower

Gerard captured this awesome photo of a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird sipping happily at one or our bright red petunias. Red is their favorite color, but they will sip at other favorite plants even if they aren't red. Actually getting a decent photo of an elusive but stunning hummingbird is extremely difficult as anyone who's ever tried knows! Making any picture that is clear and in a attractive position very precious.
Passion Flower: This is our first passion flower vine. We had seen one growing wild in a ditch out here in Georgia and so when I saw it on the Jackson & Perkins cataloge I ordered one. They are indigenous to South America. So that means they grow really easy out here! And they smell really, really great!
