365 Days 2023, Numbah Fifty-Nine

August 4th

All ova da place again last month.

Let’s start the day off by watching Lani Moo munch on this dried grass da kine. It sure doesn’t look very appetizing, but she seemed to like it. Kinda.

Lani Moo.

For the rest of today’s post, we’ll have a plethora of hummingbird photos. Why? Because not only could I not decide which ones to use (I still didn’t use all of them!), I got a couple of pretty amazing photos.

Don’t see a hummingbird? That’s because there wasn’t one in this photo. This is how the morning started.
Then the daily hummingbird showed up.
Then another one showed up, and the scrapping began.
“I won!!”
“No, you didn’t. Because I’m still here!”

Oh my gosh, suddenly there were three of them!! This hardly ever happens!

They chased the third one off.

There was so much hummingbird action going on that I could hardly keep up!
Daily hummingbird trio.

Then the magic happened!!!! Four daily hummingbirds!! This has never happened before!

Can you believe it? I was so excited I had trouble holding my phone still!

You won’t believe what happened next!! Five, yes five, daily hummingbirds!

Be still my heart!!

The next day, we put up three hummingbird feeders! I still have a hard time believing I was able to catch this magical time. I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I did. I’m still in awe that I was able to see so many hummingbirds at the same time.

You know, when I started doing the daily hummingbird, I had no idea how much happiness it’d bring to my life. I have to use stealth sometimes, I have to practice patience, and I have to look for opportunities to catch these jeweled creatures in action. Before, I’d enjoy seeing the tiny birds and loved seeing them at the feeders, but until I started photographing them I didn’t know what fun it’d be to catch them in all their acrobatics as they zoomed around the feeders. Doing the daily hummingbird has really enriched my life, and I love that others are enjoying it with me.
