Pictures from the Porch

After a really hectic week at work, I was relaxing on the porch and saw this dragonfly on the antenna of my truck. It's covered with spider webs, so I'm not sure if it was eating them or what. It sat there for a long time and let me take several pictures.


And then there was this little lady humming bird, coming by for a snack. She visited our "flower" several times, while I was only sitting a few feet away. She was pretty nervous though.


Here she is at the "flower".

Hummers!

The hummers have finally returned! We've had several at our feeders already. I also see them perched in some of the bushes around the house. (Our new feeders don't have perches.)

Today as we were returning, I saw this hummer in the tree at the corner of the porch. When I "processed" the shot, I noticed a lot of feathers on the branch -- maybe this one is considering this spot for a nest site!
