I took this at what we call the hummingbird lodge in NM. |
But, I had told myself that this year I would try again to take part in the Tuesday Slices. How could I think I would follow through with that, if I skipped the first one! So, here I am, written out...all words sapped out. What do I do? Well, I will take some advice from an animal. (And I know, that no matter what animal card I pick...the advice on that card will seem perfect...but I still like to do this.) So what animal chose to come to me today?
Hummingbird

Isn't that a wonderful message! Now, if I just had Valerie's artistic talent, I could post a hummingbird flying around its message. But, I will have to be satisfied posting a couple of hummingbird pictures I took in New Mexico....and count my blessings that I did take photos of humming birds.
This little guy was waiting his turn. Check the video and you will see that some were not so patient. |

Glad you decided to post today. I felt like taking a day off because I had no more ideas. What could I write about that I haven't already said in the last 31 days? I really like the hummingbird message. This is something we all need to do more of.
ReplyDeleteJackie, that is beautiful! I love to watch hummingbirds - they are fascinating. I'm with you about writing - feeling kind of sapped. I feel like my writing wasn't what it was last year, but I'm so glad I kept up with the challenge. I did miss three days over break but was ready to write the next day. Thank you for this great slice today. Maybe I'll see what I can do about Tuesdays…. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteGive it a try, you can, do it! :-) Love those hummers, I just wish they'd be a little kinder to each other. I can't wait until it warms up a bit and they return. Whenever I sit in the backyard in a red shirt, they have to come check me out.
ReplyDeleteOh hummingbirds! What a breath of spring! I can't wait to see some on my feeders as it warms up.
