Hummingbirds

The hummingbird competes with the stillness of the air. – Chogyam Trungpa
Looking back through my pictures, I found an afternoon where I spent a few moments trying to catch the hummingbird either at the feeder or on a nail on our deck.  If you're patient, you can find moments where they do sit long enough to catch a picture or two.  They rest with the stillness of the air instead of competing with it. 

I always wonder what they are doing.  Are they taking a quick nap with their eyes open?  Are they stopping to scout out their next flower?  Maybe they are just enjoying the scenery or watching me?  Are they just recharging before taking off on their next flight?

In Wisconsin, Fall has arrived when the hummingbirds disappear.  Until Spring comes, guess it is just time to think fondly of the little birds and enjoy the changing colors of the season. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the cool Fall days and moments of stillness in your day.
