      @Danifred,

      It really was a great day in a beautiful location! The kid really had a great meet that day!!

      I was stunned to find that flower in the mix when I grabbed a bunch at the Farmers Market!! It’s just beautiful and so unique!

      @Texan Mama,
      Thank you!! I do try to find something beautiful in every day!! Lately as I’ve been trying to do 365 it seems a bit easier when I’ve got my camera there to help me find it!

      @Donna,

      Thank you, Donna! I couldn’t get over the flower when I saw it. First thing I did when I got home was wake up my husband to show him *lol*

      @Tara R.,

      Thanks, Tara! I was cursing myself after I got home that I hadn’t made my shutter speed faster, so the wings are almost invisible…but I was still thrilled with the shots I got!!!

      @jen,

      Thanks, Jen! It wasn’t easy. I probably have at least a dozen shots that are totally devoid of any sign of hummingbird, those buggers move fast!!

    That FLOWER! IT’S AMAZING!
    I’d want to freeze dry it and take it on tour to show everyone how beautiful different is.

      Isn’t it gorgeous, Casey?! I am still in awe of it. The thought of preserving it really is super tempting! I may have to look into that before it starts to droop!

      @Rachael,

      I’m glad you like the hummingbirds!! It’s so much fun to go there and sit and watch them. They have an ‘observation room’ to watch them flying between all of the feeders. So awesome.
