~ hummingbirds

(Mar 24/09) I was walking down one of the streets in my neighbourhood, a back street, with little traffic. These streets are lined with character homes of all shapes and sizes, and I noticed many gardens are being prepared for spring. Some bulbs have sprouted into daffodils. Fruit trees are starting to flower. And I was lucky enough to see two rufous hummingbirds, so tiny, so fast, little sprits of humming beauty. I couldn't get a pix of them tho, so you have to be satisfied with cherry blossoms.
