Wait for it....

This morning while having worship, I noticed some color on the horizon. These things can be fleeting, so I snapped a photo.

But instead of being the sum total of the dawn's glory, that was only the precursor to THIS –

While I stood in the doorway to the deck taking the second photo, a male Anna's hummingbird with even more stunning colors buzzed me repeatedly. I was actually concerned that he might get by me and into the house! So I closed the door, then got the idea to capture the bold little fellow at our feeder with the sunrise in the background. I waited, finger on shutter, until I finally had to capitulate to my complaining back.

It coulda been a contender.... ;-)

That's it for today from . . .
