A Birdwatchers Paradise!

We have a beautiful plant in our yard that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds and I have tried to get a pic of one .....but  every time I get there they are gone.

Today we were just hanging around the house with all the doors and windows open letting the cool and balmy Pacific breezes blow through the house.

I walked into the bedroom to get something and was greeted by a flying object that zoomed past my head!  

This beautiful little hummingbird had flown right into the house and was most distraught with not being able to find the way out.   So off I went to grab my camera in hopes of capturing the moment.

The poor little thing flew back and forth from one curtain rod to the other and wore herself out to the point where when she landed on the headboard we  scooped her up for transport back to nature and the great outdoors! (Yes, I called her a she....something so beautiful would just have to be a girl!)

Confinement does play a role in allowing for capturing photos of your subject so while in flight I was able to get some really good pictures of our new feathered friend!

BYE BYE BIRDIE!  I am so sorry for your stressful experience.....but thank you for the photo op!
Hopefully we will find you again feasting on the sweet nectar of our butterfly bush!
