I got this shot after our latest batch of snow last week.
All this snow has gone again and there is currently a big thaw taking place.
However our forecasters have reassured us there is another cold spell coming next week!
Rufous hummingbirds winter near the AZ - Mexican border and in early spring begin to migrate as far north as middle Alaska, then return again in early / mid fall. The dark area under the bill flashes metallic bronze when lit directly. Taken early-ish morning near Tucson, Arizona in the Sonoran Desert. More hummingbirds in PhotoStream and/or Hummingbirds album.

YOU JUST HAVE TO VIEW ON BLACKNESS :) :)
----I have also joined the amazingly inspiring Vimeo!! Feel free to be-friend me if your around those part's :)
and OH OH OH.... Vimeo inspired me THAT much that I purchased a Sony Handycam DCR-HC27 Camcorder :D I have been meaning to experiment for a while now, I'm just itching to learn and expand my creative horizon :)
NOTE : I have a SERIOUS amount of shots from the same hour this was taken, I just don't want to upload all at once. I make that mistake quite a lot. I just want everyone to tell me what they think first before they have to click 'next page'.... ( It's annoying that I know) Unfortunately no-one actually has the same amount of free time to themselves as much as I do. Do not judge. I have a job, but I have been there for 4 years now and are starting to fall out of my bubble. It does not enthuse my brain very much! Although I do like interacting with different and interesting people 24/7 throughout each day out of the 3 days a week I am actually at work :/ I really do love talking to the older generation, with their withered past still staying strong in their minds full of wisdom :)
I do have an interview ACTUALLY :) I forgot to say :O An interview for an Auxiliary Nurse at my local hospital :) I really need to change my life before it just floats off into such overbearingly circumstances.
I am on my own, with Monty - my best friend. He is allways here to keep me smiling :)
Over and out ......... *JIGGGG*
~Hedge, that divides the lovely
Garden, and myself from me,
Never in you so fair a rose I see
As she who is my lady,
Loving, sweet and holy:
Who as I stretch my hand to you
Presses it, so softly, too.~

This border around my mother's house separates the bushes and trees that line the outside of the house from the front lawn. It started with a cutting from a neighbor over 40 years and quickly grew into a thick, lush border that needs little care. In fact, it needs to be controlled and cut back or it will take over. Until I looked it up, my mother wasn't even sure what it was.
"Pachysandra terminalis, the Japanese pachysandra, carpet box or Japanese spurge, is a species of flowering plant in the boxwood family Buxaceae, native to Japan, Korea, and China and introduced to eastern North America. When growing in a spreading mass of many plants, a dense cover is formed." -- en.wikipedia.org
It seems that almost every plant or flower I admire here in the NYC environs turns out to be native to eastern Asia. One example of how humans have altered the environment.
