Early Morning Photo Ops

I had just taken my bowl of fruit and yogurt with a side of toast out to the deck thinking I'd have my breakfast al fresco, when I saw that the shed door had been left open and was banging in the wind.  I set my dishes on the center of table to keep Onyx from getting them and ran out to shut the shed door.  I decided that I may as well check on the nest while I was out there.  Of course, I didn't have my camera and inside the nest were 4 little almost hairless pink bodies that I could see breathing quickly.
I ran to the house grabbed a camera and headed back out the door tripping over my bedspread in my haste.  I just knew the mama would be back and I'd miss the chance to get a picture of her babies.
Hurry! I thought as I raced over the rocks by the pond.  Yay!  She's still gone.

I went back to my cold toast and started eating my breakfast when I heard a whirring noise near me.  Sure sign of a hummingbird and there he was hovering over the feeder deciding if it was safe to land.  He landed and took a few drinks and I thought I would miss that picture too, but he went back for more.  I snapped a couple of shots and watched him stay and drink for a little longer and then "zip" he was gone.

What a beautiful morning!
