The Hummingbird Stalker

 
 It's official.  I am a hummingbird stalker.  
It was worth it- I got some good shots.  They were so funny- they kept buzzing right by me almost taunting me!
 I had a lot of fun chasing them around though.  There was one little pair that liked to hang out over along the fence line so I just kinda hung out there with them.  Got a few shots.

The were working over the Salvia and the Mexican Bush Sage.  I got so many photos, and so many blurry ones....
 I love this one - got him with his tongue out!
 The Mexican Flame Vine was a hit as well. 
Hope you enjoyed the shots of my first of many hummingbird stalkings.

GBBD October 2011

 Happy Garden Bloggers Bloom Day!!!
The Leonotis is blooming away in the front bed.  I love it when they get two and three little "lion's heads" on them.  (They call it a Lion's Tail, but to me I think it should be a Lion's Head.....)
 The Fairy Dusters seem happy- we just planted a new bed up earlier this week and this is in there and appears to be quite content.
 The Mexican Flame Vine is such a bright and happy vine- on certain days the entire fence is a solid orange- LOVE IT!   This particular shot has some of the Purple Fountain Grass blooms in it- I planted one in that bed- hopefully it will last through the winter but if not I like the way it has looked in there the last few months and looking forward to enjoying it while I can.
 The Mexican Bush Sage is blooming away- a good ol' standby.
 I love the classic look of the Iceberg Rose.  It seems happy and thriving in the side bed.
 The Bower Vine is taking off on the fence and blooming away.
The Butterfly Bush - what is there to say- there is no wonder that the vibrant purple attracts the butterflies.
 The Bougainvillea is stunning and I love the variegated leaves on this variety.  Very unique.
 The Thyrallis and the Mystic Spires Salvia looks so beautiful together.  They both are thriving in the front bed.   
 And without further ado- introducing Bosephus.  He joined us last week and at first Huey was not very polite but has seemed to leave him alone now.  I was about to put Huey in the corner!  I was told to "change up the environment in the tank" so I did and I do believe it helped.  Everyone seems to be getting along.
