The weather has been quite nice - cool in the morning and evening - and we have been spending a lot of time visiting with Mom and Dad on the back porch.

Before Mom and Dad arrived, I bought a new hummingbird feeder, as my old one was leaking nectar all over the place (the ants were getting rough!). This one has met with overwhelming approval from the local avian set.

Below, a calliope hummingbird perches for a drink.


Slurp! Ahhhh...

The calliope likes to hang out on this branch and survey the territory (and feeder!), below.
