Hummingbird

It's still winter here in SoCal. Trees are leafless and it's raining today. Thank goodness as I was going to have to water. With a high of only 54 today I am glad I was able to do a rose pruning job this morning before it started to rain.

We noticed this hummingbird making her nest in our tangerine tree right outside our dining room window about a week ago. I didn't think I'd be able to get a decent photo. Maybe because it's raining did she let me get close enough. I was only about 4 feet away. I thought surely she'd fly away when I stepped close. Maybe she's concentrating on laying some super tiny eggs!

Watch for hummingbirds in your garden. And maybe you'll spot a nest too.
